I love this peanut butter frozen yogurt because it’s a creamy, rich, and refreshing treat that’s packed with protein. Made with Greek yogurt and peanut butter, it satisfies my sweet tooth while still feeling wholesome and light—a perfect dessert for warm days or whenever I want something cool and tasty without feeling too heavy.

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup milk (any kind, dairy or non-dairy)

Directions

In a medium bowl, I whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth.

I gradually add the milk, stirring to combine. If the mixture feels too thick, I add a bit more milk until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.

I pour the mixture into a shallow dish or an ice cream maker.

If I’m using an ice cream maker, I follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the mixture until thick and frozen, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

If I don’t have an ice cream maker, I place the dish in the freezer and freeze it for 4-6 hours. During the first 2 hours, I stir it every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming and keep it creamy.

Once fully frozen, I scoop and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe yields about 4 servings. It takes only about 10 minutes to prepare, plus the freezing time—20-25 minutes if using an ice cream maker or 4-6 hours if freezing without one. I usually plan ahead so it’s ready when I want it.

Variations

I sometimes swap the peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter to switch things up. For extra texture, adding chopped peanuts or chocolate chips before freezing gives a nice crunch. If I want it sweeter, I increase the honey or maple syrup a bit, or add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate-peanut butter twist.

Storage/Reheating

Since this is a frozen treat, I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To soften before serving, I let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes or scoop it into a bowl and microwave for 10-15 seconds, just enough to make it scoopable without melting completely.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?

I prefer plain Greek yogurt for the best balance of tanginess and peanut butter flavor, but you can try vanilla-flavored yogurt if you want it sweeter. Just reduce or skip the vanilla extract and sweetener accordingly.

What if I don’t have an ice cream maker?

No worries! Freezing the mixture in a shallow dish and stirring every 30 minutes during the first two hours helps keep it creamy and prevent ice crystals, resulting in a great texture.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely. I use non-dairy Greek-style yogurt and plant-based milk like almond or oat milk to keep it vegan and dairy-free without compromising creaminess.

How long does this frozen yogurt keep in the freezer?

It stays good for up to 2 weeks in the freezer when stored in an airtight container, but it’s best enjoyed within the first few days for optimal texture and flavor.

Can I add other mix-ins?

Yes! I like adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even swirls of jelly or caramel before freezing for extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion

This peanut butter frozen yogurt is one of my favorite quick and easy homemade frozen treats. It’s packed with protein, naturally sweet, and perfectly creamy whether I use an ice cream maker or just my freezer. I love how versatile it is to tweak with different nut butters and add-ins, making it a reliable go-to dessert that never gets boring. If you’re looking for a refreshing yet wholesome way to enjoy a frozen dessert, this recipe hits the spot every time.
