Last night I was finally unpacking all my stuff from the weekend in
Cresco with my sister. I found the bag
of cake mixes and frosting I had picked up at Fareway. 10 for $10 so I couldn’t resist. Anyway, there was still part of a vanilla
cake mix leftover from making my cake batter truffles so I set it on the
counter and stared at it for a while until inspiration struck. What
if I could make a frozen yogurt that was cake batter flavored? Now, anyone besides me probably would’ve
researched some recipes online or came up with a concrete game plan. Not this girl!
I dumped the remaining cup of cake mix in a bowl and added a small
container of greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons of vanilla and 2 teaspoons of
sugar. I added 1 teaspoon of sprinkles
for fun, mixed it up and it tasted pretty dang good! I threw it in the freezer
and went for a walk. I was anxious to try it when I returned.
The initial bite of frozen yogurt was great BUT there was that bitter
greek yogurt after taste. Ugh! I finally
went online to see if I could find some pointers and the few that I found said
to make sure you make it almost crazy
sweet because once it sets in the freezer, the greek yogurt flavor will become
prominent. It wasn’t bad by any means and I will definitely eat it. It just wasn’t the sweet, smooth , creaminess
I had dreamed it would be. Next time I
will try to up the vanilla and sugar or try a vanilla or honey flavored greek
yogurt instead of plain. If you’re going
to try this, here’s what I would suggest:
8 oz container greek yogurt (vanilla or honey)
1 cup cake mix (I used vanilla)
3 tsps vanilla extract
3 tsps sugar
1 tsp sprinkles
Mix well and freeze for two hours.
