Notes

Tips:

For a true froyo consistency, frozen Greek yogurt is best served straight out of the ice cream maker. It can be made in advance, but gets icy and firm if stored in the freezer.
Every ice cream maker is different. Yours may take longer or shorter to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. (Note that every freezer is different too. If your ice cream maker was in the deep freeze, it may freeze your Greek yogurt much faster than 8 minutes.)

If using plain (unsweetened) Greek yogurt:

In a small saucepan, combine:

1/2 cup half and half
3 Tablespoons sugar

Heat over medium heat, stirring often, just until the sugar dissolves. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. Whisk the half and half into 1 32-ounce container of Greek yogurt. Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker as directed in the recipe above.
