Mango Frozen Yogurt

Makes about 5 cups (ten ½-cup servings)

Be sure to use fresh, ripe mangoes. The better the mango, the better the frozen yogurt.

Ingredients

5 cups low-fat plain yogurt, strained through a cheesecloth* for 2 to 4 hours
½ cup granulated sugar
2 mangoes, peeled, pitted and roughly chopped (about ½ to 1-inch pieces)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, about ½ lime

*If you do not have a cheesecloth, you can use a couple of layered paper towels. Also, a thick nonfat plain Greek style yogurt can work in place of the regular variety. The Greek yogurt would not need to be strained.

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the strained yogurt and sugar together; reserve.
Using a blender, purée the mangoes with the lime juice and 1 cup of the yogurt mixture. Combine with the remaining yogurt/sugar mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.
Turn on the Cuisinart® ice cream maker; pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes.
The frozen yogurt will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the frozen yogurt to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

While part-skim or fat-free yogurt can be substituted, to get the real flavor and richness of this frozen yogurt it is best to use the whole milk variety.
