Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt is one of the simplest things I make with my Ninja Creami and honestly one of my favorites. Greek yogurt and honey are all it takes to get a smooth, creamy, lightly tangy frozen yogurt that feels fresh and clean rather than heavy. The kind of dessert you’ll keep coming back to.

It’s my go-to for light summer desserts, after workouts, and on warm evenings when I want a frozen treat that feels light and refreshing without a lot of sugar or cream. Simple enough for everyday and pretty enough for company. Leftovers store well covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks in the pint container and just respin for the best texture before serving.

Here’s how simple and satisfying it is to make frozen yogurt at home with just a few simple ingredients.

Mix the Yogurt and Honey

Add the Greek yogurt and honey to the Ninja Creami pint container, and stir until everything is well combined. That’s really all the prep work here, which makes it one of the easiest frozen desserts you’ll ever put together.

A long stirring spoon or a silicone spatula works great for getting everything evenly mixed before freezing.

Freeze Until Completely Solid

Cover and freeze pint on a flat surface in the freezer for at least 24 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is rock solid all the way through. Skipping or rushing this step will affect the final texture, so plan ahead and give it the full freeze time.

Spin in the Ninja Creami

Remove the container from the freezer, take off the lid, and place it in your Ninja Creami outer bowl. Lock it into your Ninja Creami machine, then select the Frozen Yogurt setting and let the machine do its thing.

Re-spin If Needed

If the yogurt looks crumbly or powdery after the first spin, don’t worry. Just run the Respin function 1 to 2 times until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.

You can also add 1 to 2 tablespoons of yogurt directly into the container before respinning for an even creamier result.

Scoop and Top

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the frozen yogurt into dessert bowls and drizzle with honey. Finish with walnuts or your favorite toppings. Serve right away for the creamiest texture. Enjoy!

Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt

Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt is one of my favorite things to make with this machine because the result is so smooth, clean, and genuinely satisfying for how little effort it takes. Just Greek yogurt and honey freeze overnight and the Ninja Creami spins them into a beautifully creamy, lightly tangy frozen yogurt with a soft, scoopable texture that feels nothing like anything from the store. I make this for easy weeknight desserts, light summer treats, and anytime I want something frozen that doesn't feel heavy. Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks and respin before serving.

Notes

Here are a few things I’ve learned from making this recipe that’ll help you get the best results every time.

Use full-fat Greek yogurt: A higher fat content in the yogurt gives you a richer, creamier result after spinning. Low-fat versions will still work but tend to be a bit icier in texture.

Stir thoroughly before freezing: Make sure the honey is fully mixed into the Greek yogurt before you freeze it. If it’s not evenly combined, you’ll end up with uneven sweetness in the finished frozen yogurt.

Freeze on a flat surface: Always place the Ninja Creami container on a level surface in your freezer. An uneven freeze can affect how the machine processes the block.

Give it the full 24 hours: Don’t rush the freeze time. The container needs to be completely solid all the way through for the Ninja Creami to process it properly.

Respin for creaminess: If the first spin looks crumbly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of yogurt and run the Respin function. This extra step makes a noticeable difference in the final texture of the frozen yogurt.

Store properly: If you have leftovers or want to prep bowls ahead of time, portion out the frozen yogurt into individual freezer containers and press a piece of plastic on top to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for 1 to 2 weeks, then add your toppings fresh.

How to Store Leftovers

If you don’t finish the whole container, press a piece of BPA-free plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the frozen yogurt before snapping the lid back on. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming on top.

Store it back in the freezer and enjoy within 1 to 2 weeks for the best texture and flavor. I-You can also transfer any extra frozen yogurt to an insulated ice cream tub or freezer-safe container if you’re making a big batch.

When you’re ready for another serving, let the container sit at room temperature for a few minutes before respinning on your Ninja Creami. It’ll come back to that smooth, creamy consistency just like the first time.

What to Serve With Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt

It’s already a treat on its own, but topping it with fresh fruit makes it even better. Fresh strawberries are my go-to, but blueberries or mango chunks add just as much natural color and flavor to the bowl.

A light granola or flax seeds add some crunch if you want a little more texture alongside the walnuts. You can also drizzle the top with maple syrup, sprinkle with chocolate chips or sprinkles for a touch of sweetness, or serve it with whatever toppings you love most.

For a more indulgent spread, serve it next to warm baked goods like honey cake, banana bread, or oat muffins. The contrast of warm and cold is really satisfying, and the honey notes in the frozen yogurt tie everything together.
