How to make Cafe-style Tigernut Froyo (Easy Recipe)
Get your froyo fix at home with this easy, simple, vegan version of cafe-style froyo, featuring none other than our Original tigernut butter with no added sugar and *no common allergens. *Made dairy-free and using only natural ingredients, this creamy, healthier version of traditional frozen yogurt with tigernut flavor is the perfect midday treat or evening indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups non-dairy yogurt, plain and unsweetened
- ¼ cup Natureul Tigernut Butter
- 2-3 tablespoons sweetener (we used maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2-4 tablespoons of non-dairy milk or water
Instructions
- Add the yogurt to an ice tray and freeze for at least two hours or overnight.
- Add the frozen non-dairy yogurt, butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. Pulse to break up the cubes. Once the frozen yogurt has broken down enough to be blended, blend on high for 10-15 seconds, adding liquid one tablespoon at a time until it’s reached your desired consistency.
- To create the cafe-style effect, pour the frozen tigernut frozen yogurt into a piping bag or zip-top plastic bag and freeze for ten to fifteen minutes.
- If using a piping bag, cut off the tip of the bag and add to another piping bag with the piping tip of your choice inserted. If using a plastic bag, simply snip a hole in one corner and hold the bag at an angle.
- Twist the top of the bag closed and squeeze the frozen yogurt out into a bowl from the back of the bag with your dominant hand in a swirling motion, guiding with your non-dominant hand. Make sure to work inwards toward the center to create the signature froyo swirl.
- Top with your favorite frozen yogurt toppings or eat plain! Bon appetite!
Tips For Making Cafe-style Tigernut Froyo
Get creative with the piping shape. If you use a smooth, round piping tip, you’ll get a perfectly soft swirl. If you want to mimic soft-serve machines, use a star tip with 6-8 peaks, that will make creases in the swirls like froyo shops often have. You can also use a petal tip to make frilly, fluffy stacks of soft tigernut yogurt.
Add a tigernut-chocolate magic shell. Looking for a chocolatey upgrade? Combine a little melted chocolate with a few tablespoons of tigernut butter and coconut oil. Pour it over the top of the froyo and watch the magic happen!
For a bit of extra interest and a crispy crunch, serve the froyo in a cone or a waffle bowl. Whether you make the cone yourself or use store-bought, any edible ice cream container will work and will be sure to delight your diners!
How to Store Cafe-style Tigernut Froyo
This tigernut frozen yogurt is meant to be enjoyed immediately, but you can freeze it in an ice cube tray overnight and then transfer the cubes to a Ziploc. Blend the cubes again according to the original instructions to resurrect the soft creaminess of the froyo.
