As you probably already know – we are big fans of fro yo in our family! Little M and LP can’t get enough of it. I’m always trying out simple ways of making quick fro yo, so I can whip up a healthy, but tasty dessert for the kids.
This quick fro yo recipe is made by hand, with no special equipment needed, except a blender. We used to have an ice cream maker and barely used it! I’m much more of a fan of recipes I can just throw together quickly and eat straight away – aren’t you?
Fro Yo never stays around long in our home anyway, so I don’t mind making quick little batches like this, without using an ice cream maker. Fro yo made by hand does tend to go a bit hard if left in the freezer too long, but that is solved by eating it as soon as it is ready! Or if you’d like to store it for longer, just remember to let it defrost and soften for 20 minutes before eating. It tastes just as yummy!
This quick fro yo is so easy, with only three ingredients that you’ll probably have handy. We nearly always have yoghurt in the fridge and frozen fruit in the freezer – I like that I can just throw this together an hour before dinner.
You can use regular plain yogurt, or greek yoghurt and use any mix of berries you fancy. We usually use a mix of blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.
The Oreos are optional and a bit of a treat! I used chocolate ones, but of course you can use the ordinary ones. You could also try adding any other crumbled cookies, or some choc chips, or leave them out if you prefer. Feel free to experiment!

Try any mix of berries you fancy. You can also vary the cookies. Top with fresh fruit and more crumbled cookies!!
This quick fro yo went down almost as quickly as it was made! Both my two loved it – and of course the Oreos were a hit! I think this will be a regular in our family. How about you?
