Orange Creamsicle Frozen Yogurt Recipe

Updated April 15, 2020

The classic creamsicle gets an upgrade with tangy yogurt and a big jolt of orange zest to bolster the fruit's bittersweet citrus edge.

Why this recipe works:

Full-fat yogurt brings a balance of acidity, creaminess, and fruity flavor to the dessert.
Using both orange juice and zest emphasizes the flavor and aroma of fresh orange.
