Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat yogurt instead of low-fat. If peaches are out of season, frozen peaches work just as well; just ensure they're unsweetened. You can also experiment by adding other fruits like mango or berries for a twist. If you're looking for additional flavor, a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg can elevate the dish, similar to flavors found in Old Fashioned Shortbread Cookie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach frozen yogurt in chilled bowls for an extra refreshing treat. It pairs beautifully with sliced fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey on top. Consider serving it alongside light summer desserts, or as a refreshing end to a spicy meal. For a fun twist, try it in a sundae with crushed nuts or a sprinkle of granola.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To enjoy later, let the yogurt sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften before scooping. If it becomes too hard, you can also stir in a little milk to restore a creamier consistency. Consume within a month for the best taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just make sure to peel, slice, and puree them before adding to the mixture. However, frozen peaches are convenient and often more flavorful when out of season, as they are picked and frozen at peak ripeness.
Is there a dairy-free version of this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the skim milk with almond or coconut milk and use a dairy-free yogurt alternative. Ensure that these substitutes are unsweetened to maintain the balance of flavors in the dish.
How can I make this recipe sweeter?
If you prefer a sweeter yogurt, simply increase the sugar to taste. You can also add a splash of maple syrup or honey, but be cautious not to overpower the peach flavor. Always taste the mixture before freezing to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
