Ninja Creami Peach Frozen Yogurt

Sweet and tangy Ninja Creami peach frozen yogurt is my go-to summer treat when the peaches are ripe and the days always feel too hot for baking. With only a handful of nourishing ingredients and a push-button appliance, you get a creamy scoop that beautifully captures juicy peach flavor in every bite. This is the kind of dessert that feels a little fancy but is secretly easy enough for any day of the week.

I first whipped this up after spotting super fragrant peaches at the market, and now it is a non-negotiable for family movie night. It always disappears fast in my house.

Ingredients

• Ripe peaches: Fresh or frozen diced peaches give the frozen yogurt its sweet and sunny flavor. Fresh peaches bring the juiciest taste but quality frozen peaches work too. Choose deeply colored and fragrant peaches for the best results.
• Plain Greek yogurt: Adds richness, creaminess, and a tangy base for the frozen yogurt. Pick thick yogurt without added sweeteners for a lush texture.
• Honey or maple syrup: Brings natural sweetness to the dessert. A mild honey lets the peach flavor shine, and maple syrup adds a caramel warmth.
• Vanilla extract: Rounds out the flavors and makes the whole thing taste softer and sweeter. Real vanilla makes a difference so use pure extract if you can.
• Lemon juice: A small splash brightens the whole mixture and balances the sweetness. Use fresh lemon for a fresh zing.
• Whole milk: Helps create a scoopable creamy consistency. Use full fat milk for the smoothest mouthfeel.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Blend Everything:

Add diced peaches, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and whole milk to a blender. Blend until totally smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides a few times to make sure no peach pieces remain.

Freeze the Base:

Pour the peach mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure the top is level and smooth. Seal with the lid. Freeze the container flat in your freezer for at least 24 hours to set the mixture fully.

Spin in the Ninja Creami:

Remove the frozen pint from your freezer and take off the lid. Place it in your Ninja Creami. Insert the bowl and select the Lite Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt setting. Let the machine do its job until the base turns creamy.

Check and Adjust Texture:

If the frozen yogurt is crumbly after the first spin, do not worry. Use the Re-spin function on the Ninja Creami. If needed, add a splash of milk or peach juice to help it come together.

Serve:

Scoop the fresh peach frozen yogurt into bowls and enjoy right away. The flavor and texture are best right after spinning.

Pin it

I am always amazed by how ripe peaches transform into a silky lush frozen dessert. I always use the juiciest fruit I can find because they make each spoonful burst with summery sunshine. My daughter and I love sneaking a taste from the blender before it even hits the freezer.

Storage Tips

Keep leftover frozen yogurt in the Ninja Creami pint container in your freezer with the lid sealed tight. If the texture hardens, simply run the Re-spin function when you are ready to serve again. You can also let the pint thaw for a few minutes on the counter to soften up. The flavor stays bright for up to two weeks, but it is almost always finished by then in my home.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you do not have fresh peaches, swap in frozen peaches straight from the bag. No need to thaw beforehand. You can use nectarines or even ripe mango for a tropical twist. For a dairy-free version, use a creamy plant-based yogurt and your favorite non-dairy milk. Sweetness can be adjusted with agave or a monk fruit blend if you prefer lower sugar.

Serving Suggestions

This peach frozen yogurt is perfection as is but also loves toppings. Try chopped toasted pecans, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of more honey. For an extra treat, sandwich a scoop between snickerdoodle cookies. Kids love adding rainbow sprinkles, and I love it with sliced fresh berries alongside.

Peaches and Frozen Yogurt Around the World

Peach season always feels like a mini holiday, and so many cultures celebrate summer stone fruit with frozen treats. In southern US towns, homemade peach ice cream is a tradition at picnics and potlucks. Yogurt-based frozen desserts have roots in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern kitchens where yogurt is used for both sweet and savory dishes. My family now looks forward to making a version every year as soon as the peaches peak.

Once you see how luscious homemade peach frozen yogurt can be, I think you will reach for this recipe every peach season. It is summer in a bowl and making it together with family brings out new memories with every scoop.
