Frozen Nutella Yogurt – Yum!

Today is World Nutella Day. Tomorrow is National Frozen Yogurt Day. Imagine my delight when I found a cornucopia of recipes combining Frozen Yogurt with Nutella! Nutella today, Frozen Yogurt tomorrow. Perfect.

Kiddo and I love Frozen Yogurt. Our favorite has to be Chocolate Frozen Yogurt. Hubby not so much, but then I think he gets certain ideas about food and can’t (or won’t) change his mind. He’s never tried Yogurt, frozen or otherwise. Oh well, that’s more yummy yogurt for the rest of us, right?

Happy Frozen Yogurt Nutella Day everyone!

1 cup Whole Milk

Note: Freese paddle and bowl of ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s direction before proceeding.

Line a strainer with cheese cloth. Place strainer over a pot or bowl to catch the liquid. Place yogurt into the strainer. Let drain at least an hour.

Place drained yogurt, milk, Nutella, cocoa and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend for 30 seconds or until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste to add sweetener as desired if needed.

Oh, and one more thing – Ice Cream for Breakfast Day is the first Saturday of February. That’s tomorrow! Yogurt is a breakfast food, right? So why not have Nutella Frozen Yogurt for breakfast? Top with some fresh berries and there you go.
