Frozen yogurt,a super delicious dessert is similar to ice cream, but made with yogurt and other pure dairy products. Sugar-free and fat-free frozen yogurts is the ideal alternative for fat content and calorie count ice cream. Similar to ice cream, frozen yogurt can be made in any flavor that you can think of instead of limiting your taste buds to a few varieties in your grocer’s freezer and finally homemade frozen yogurt is even easier to prepare than ice cream.

Just combine a small saucepan,gelatin and water then heat slowly and stir constantly till gelatin dissolves completely. Remove it from heat and cool down. Then take your electric blender, add what you want – strawberries, banana chunks and whatever you just want, add gelatin. Blend it all together for 2 – 3 minutes, or until you get a consistently smooth paste. Add yogurt, sugar substitute and vanilla extract, and process for another 2- 3 minutes. Pour it in ice cream maker and freeze according to directions.
