Does your local market run super specials on yogurt?
Thankfully, there’s a solution, and it does not require the willpower not to buy the yogurt.
Instead, freezing yogurt is a remarkably quick and easy method.
As with most foods, the longer yogurt is frozen, the more its quality will decline.
Keep in mind that yogurt expands in the freezer, so the seal on the container may break.
It also means you could leave a little room for the yogurt to expand.
Freeze the scoops for several hours or overnight before moving them to a freezer bag for longer-term storage.
For all these freezer methods, avoid freezing yogurt for longer than two months.
And to keep track, always label and date yogurt before freezing.
This makes it essential to stir the thawed yogurt thoroughly before using it.
Once the yogurt has been thawed, it cannot be refrozen.
In addition to textural changes, some yogurt tastes more tart after being frozen.
One way to enjoy frozen yogurt is by using it in recipes that don’t need to be thawed.
Smoothies, including this simpleFruit & Yogurt Smoothieor thisSpinach-Avocado Smoothie, are perfect.Smoothie bowlsandshakesare also great.
If you do thaw the yogurt, use it in recipes where texture is less important.
Focus on dishes that call for rich creaminess and tart tanginess but don’t need to be super smooth.
