What a nice summer dessert! Used this recipe as kind of a guideline, and it turned out very well. For the yogurt, I used a 7oz container Greek yogurt and 1 1/2 cups lowfat regular yogurt. Substituted a sweet white wine for the vodka, added 3/4 tsp vanilla extract, and reduced the sugar by about 2 Tbsp. I found that the small amount froze very quickly in my ice cream maker (only 20 minutes) and became very firm after being in the freezer for a couple hours. I would suggest removing the frozen yogurt from the freezer at least 10 minutes before serving. Can't wait to make this again.

This is GREAT. I did modify the recipe a bit, but same basic ingredients...I used vanilla flavored vodka, 1 tablespoon. I also used 1/4 cup of Splenda and 1 tsp of Stevia herb to sweeten, in place of the sugar. AND I used 2 1/2 cups of fat-free greek yogurt to make it a bit thicker. This made my ice cream maker overflow just a tiny bit, but no biggie. Yum, thanks for posting!
