To Try: Mojito Frozen Yogurt

Mojito Frozen Yogurt


1/2 oz mint leaves

1 cup 1% milk
1/2 teaspoon xantham gum
1 teaspoon arrowroot starch
1/4 cup (50gm) sugar
2 large eggs
16 oz nonfat plain Greek yogurt
pinch of powdered stevia extract ( less than 1/8 teaspoon)
juice and zest of 1 lime
2 oz light rum
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Heat milk & mint over medium heat until milk is just bubbling around the edges of the pan. Turn off heat and let steep for about 30 minutes. Strain milk into bowl, squeezing excess liquid from mint leaves. Discard the leaves. Allow to cool.


Place the arrowroot starch into a small bowl and pour about 2 tablespoons of the milk over it. Stir to dissolve.


Add the xantham gum and sugar to the remaining milk and whisk vigorously (an immersion blender works well.) Pour into a saucepan, add the sugar, and heat over medium-low heat, just until the sugar is dissolved.


Whisk the eggs in a bowl. When the milk is warm, add about 1/4 cup to the eggs, whisking constantly. Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the milk, stirring constantly. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until mixture is thick and coats the back of the spoon. Do not let it boil.


Place the yogurt in a large bowl. Stir in the milk and egg mixture, and remaining ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for several hours or overnight. Churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
