Very Good 4.5/5

This frozen yogurt is better than the premium stuff you buy at the store-and much less expensive. A little time consuming, but really easy to make, this frozen yogurt treat is delicious and perfect for those special occasions.

You can make this a lower-fat version by using low-fat or fat-free yogurt and low-fat evaporated milk. I wouldn't recommend it because it affects the texture, and I believe that healthy fats are good for us--I use full fat dairy products all the time and still see weight loss.
