Ingredients You Need
Here’s a look at the ingredients you need to have on hand to make Mango Frozen Yogurt so you know what to pick up from the store or have ready.
- Frozen mango: Look for diced frozen mango in the freezer aisle of your supermarket. It is naturally very sweet and so convenient to buy frozen since there’s no peeling or chopping required.
- Greek yogurt: I like to make this with plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, though you can use vanilla or a variety with lower fat if you prefer. (To make this nondairy, simply use a creamy nondairy yogurt.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Sure, feel free to experiment and add fresh lime juice or zest and agave syrup, honey, or maple syrup as you like.
Sure! Add 1 cup frozen blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries to the mix. Keep at least 3 cups of frozen mango for creaminess.
How to Store
This is best served right after making, but you can also freeze it in individual containers for future use. Let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes if serving from the freezer.
Best Tips for Success
- Use frozen diced mango and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before you start.
- Use Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla, or full-fat coconut milk yogurt as a dairy-free option.
- Adjust sweetness after making by tasting and then adding honey (avoid for kids under age 1) or maple syrup. Mango is usually very sweet so we don’t usually do this, but the flavor in the fruit can vary.

Instructions

- Add the mango and yogurt to a food processor.
- Blend until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. It may take a minute or so.
- (If the mixture is hard to blend, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or you can add ¼-½ cup water or apple juice, starting with a little liquid at a time. It usually just takes a bit to get going in the food processor, so I would try letting it sit at room temperature or continuing to grind before you add any liquid.)
- Serve immediately or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months until ready to serve. (If serving from frozen, let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften.)
