Why Make Indulgent Mango Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt in 4 Easy Steps

You make it fast. The Ninja Creami speeds up churning, so you go from mix to scoop in one chilled cycle.

You save money. Fresh mango and yogurt cost less than store-bought premium frozen yogurt, and you control sugar and add-ins.

You enjoy better texture. Because you churn a semi-frozen base, the result stays creamy and airy rather than icy.

You choose quality. You control ripeness, sweetness, and flavor intensity, which gives a restaurant-quality finish at home.

How to Make Indulgent Mango Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt in 4 Easy Steps

First, you blend ripe mango, creamy Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla bean paste into a smooth, bright base. Then you chill the mixture until it firms slightly so the Ninja Creami can shave and aerate it. This technique creates a silky, scoopable texture rather than large ice crystals.

Next, you run the Creami and adjust for creaminess. If the texture feels too dense, you add a splash of milk or a quick remix to achieve the ideal softness. Finally, you plate and garnish for color and crunch.

Ingredients

2 cups Full-fat Greek Yogurt (Use perfectly ripe yogurt for the best flavor)
1/4 cup Honey (Can substitute with agave syrup for a vegan option)
1 tablespoon Vanilla Bean Paste (Can substitute with vanilla extract)
2 cups Fresh Ripe Mango (Diced; frozen mango can be used but may alter consistency)

Directions

Combine the yogurt, honey, vanilla bean paste, and mango in a blender and blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container and freeze upright for 24 hours, leaving the lid off for the last 30 minutes to firm the edges.
Lock the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami and run the "Lite Ice Cream" or "Sorbet" program, watching for a smooth, scoopable texture, about 1 cycle (1–2 minutes).
If the texture seems crumbly, remix once using the "Re-spin" option with a 1–2 tablespoon splash of milk; if it seems too soft, refreeze for 10–15 minutes and rerun the program.

Serve scoops in chilled bowls for a refreshing finish.
Top with toasted coconut flakes or chopped pistachios for crunch.
Add a drizzle of extra honey and thin mango slices for a pretty, glossy finish.
Pair with a light biscuit or shortbread and consider iced tea or a citrus-infused sparkling water for contrast.

How to Store Indulgent Mango Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt in 4 Easy Steps

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 48 hours only; keep chilled but expect texture change.
Freezer: Freeze in a shallow, airtight container for up to 1 month; thaw for 10–15 minutes before serving to soften.
To soften quickly: let a scoop sit at room temperature for 5–8 minutes, or microwave a small serving on low for 8–12 seconds and stir.

Tips to Make Indulgent Mango Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt in 4 Easy Steps

Use very ripe mango for maximum sweetness and tropical aroma.
If you need extra smoothness, press the blended mix through a fine mesh before freezing.
Replace honey with agave for a vegan option, but taste as you go because sweetness levels vary.
Chill the blended base in the fridge for 30 minutes before freezing to reduce large ice crystals.
Save a few mango cubes to fold in after the first Creami cycle for fresh fruit texture.

Variations

Mango-Chili Swirl: Fold in a teaspoon of lime zest and a pinch of chili powder for a sweet-heat finish.
Coconut Mango: Replace 1/4 cup of yogurt with full-fat coconut milk for silkier richness and a tropical note.
Berry-Mango Blend: Add 1/2 cup fresh strawberries or raspberries to the blender for a berry-mango ribbon.
