The vitamix needs to be on high to avoid overheating! I’ve done this and it gets the job done in about 30 seconds. You also need to put enough in that the blades have something to grab onto. Work it up to high speed and tamp like crazy and you’ll get what you’re looking for without burning out the motor.
Yeah, looking back on it, I think it needed maybe more liquid? Everything was just too dry and wasn't catching on the blades? I think putting it on high might have been the problem actually? Ohhh well. Using the food processor seemed to be the ticket!
Looks so good! Question: do you think it would work if you just dropped all of the ingredients straight into the ice cream maker without premixing them? Would the machine do the mixing for you?
My mouth was literally watering whilst you were trying that mMango FroYo.......Im gonna try it tomorrow also putting my bowl int he freezer now....cannot wait! Thanks for experimenting for us...I think it was well worth it....:)
I'm going to use my electric food chopper with some of the yoghurt/cream mixture to get the fruit chopped up and juice extracted, then add it all together into the ice cream maker. I think doing it after the yoghurt is frozen won't get the flavour blended very thoroughly. I also think that if you are going to use frozen fruit it would be best to let it thaw partially. Thanks for the video.
You got it there! So well done! I guess adding any fruit earlier like you do with regular ice cream would add too much water and make it way too icy. Next time I travel to Richmond, I'm hitting Timothy's! Thanks for this Ajay! Great video!
Just got one of these machines. Thanks for the ice cream videos. I wonder if blending the frozen fruit in with the soft frozen yogurt out of the cuisinart would freeze it to a good consistency. Also could experiment with blending the hard frozen yogurt with a little more yogurt or cream with the fruit. Thanks for the inspiration.
Glad the video could help! Yeah, I think the high water content in the fruit definitely makes freezes the frozen yogurt a little hard than liked. The issue with blending the hard frozen yogurt, is that it's so hard to work with. I like the idea of blending the frozen fruit with the soft frozen yogurt though!
Hey boss man, you might want to look up stabilizers, and it's always advisable to let your Frozen ice cream sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving it.
😅 What I've found is that the corn syrup helps with the overall texture of the frozen yogurt. Makes it just that little bit more creamy. I suppose you could leave it out though?
Yeah, it's not particularly loud. One of the issues is that my mic was right beside it perhaps? That being said, it's like a $40 ice cream maker so don't expect a super quiet ice cream making experience 🤷🏻♂️
Hi, Hello, I am from northern Mexico, we have mango in a short season of the year, from mid-July to mid-September, it is one of the best things that makes it worth it to endure the summer heat, almost 50 degrees. So we always freeze the mango due to the short season and save it, so we can use it to make refresh waters, for smoothies with milk it is delicious and the mango provides an extra creamy sensation, but it needs to be enough. Even we make mangoneada, it's just mango in a blender with chili and pieces of tamarind, delicious. I recently bought this machine, I'm going to try it. I would like to make chai tea ice cream, rice pudding, mint and chocolate, mocha, traditional Mexican chocolate, atoles, etc. Thank you for share your experience!!!
I think you should try to process the food and then incorporate it in the frozen yougurt mix while still in the cusinart machine
Ohhh I like that! I might need to try that next time! Thanks for the great idea!!
Making a fruit compote and adding it at the initial making of the frozen yogurt might work.
That’s a good idea. I suppose the fruit compote would have to cook for a significant time to get all the water out??
Your so underated
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have the same ice cream maker and the instruction book comes with a recipe book and it has recipes for frozen yogurt.

For the frozen yogurt? Maybe? Maybe trying fruit puree in the mix instead might work well??

We have a place in Abbotsford at the clayburn candy store who also does this frozen yogurt and it’s unmatched. But I’m excited to try this!!

Great thoughts! Will definitely check it oht
You should have mixed the mango with the yogurt in the ice cream mixer and added 2 or 3 tablespoons vodka to keep it from becoming unscoopable.

I don't think it would because you added cream and then you don't have to mess with a block of frozen yogurt.

Killing it dude!!
Appreciate it!

Appreciate the tips! 👍🏽
Milk plus cultures = yogurt.
Seems like the problem with frozen yogurt, is that you have to make ice cream for it to freeze right.
All was good until I saw that hi fructose corn syrup😱
😅 What I've found is that the corn syrup helps with the overall texture of the frozen yogurt. Makes it just that little bit more creamy. I suppose you could leave it out though?
Same here. I think I am going to try substituting it with sweetened condensed milk.
Or you could just add more cream
Should have used the silicone ice cube trays
Ohhhh that’s a good call! Yes! Next time!
That was like watching a cat trying to play a piano. Sigh....
A Filipino cat at least, right? 😂
What about using oat creamer?
Ohhhh really interesting! I've never actually had oat creamer (like ever haha). Would definitely be a good experiment!
Corn syrup 👎
Honey 🍯 👍

In your 1 year video you said it was QUIET! This video does not support that.

Partially thaw the mango.
Good idea!
Gna try this tomorrow. Perhaps add the fruit a couple mins before the yoghurt sets on the first yruy
Fantastic, I hope it went well for you!
