Hi Bee,
I make yogurt at home too, I’m sure home made yogurt can be used instead of store-bought. In regards to the ice cream maker, yes, you can make ice cream without a maker - I have never done it but I’m sure David would be able provide you with some nifty technique!
Hi Jaden,
man, all this talk of fro-yo is making me want some! i was wondering if you have had any success keeping the frozen yogurt without it turning into a rock solid mass? thanks!
I love this post. You really make me laugh! Seeing how I live where frozen yogurt doesn’t exist but Greek yogurt does, I think I will have to try this. (or I will give this fro yo a go!)
Lynn- I’ll definitely let you know if Pinkberry can stand a chance against this fro-yo!!
Sue- Not really. I leave it on the counter for a few minutes to warm up a bit before serving. But hardly any make it to the freezer anyways. We tend to just eat it all in one sitting!
LPC- I can’t seduce you with fro yo?!
Melinda- LOL!
MrsHBT- If this fro-yo could wear shoes, she would be decked out in stilettos
Bea- Oh I hope you try this - and please share your photo too!
fantastic! This is the type of coconut dishes I love love love! Right, I have saved it for summer next year.
PS: You know the toasted coconut reminds me of a dessert that is very popular in Hanoi. Ice cream with sweet rice, then some toastes coconut flakes on top. I haven’t eaten it for the longest time!
Great… in addition to what looks like the perfect recipe for “FroYo”, several of the links you’ve provided have my mouth watering and this month’s food budget and list of to-tries growing…
What type of ice cream maker do you use? I am returning a refurbished Cuisinart (the $$ self-refrigerated one) since my ice creams are taking nearly one hour to freeze properly, and any knows that is waaaay long to wait when you are wanting a frozen treat STAT! I have made this recipe the “David” way - wonderful, rich, creamy, tangy - everything you’d want in a fro-yo, except it does freeze very rock solid. Gotta give the coconut flavor a spin.
Thanks for the love, Steamy. By the way, your food floats somewhere between category 1 and 2. Your photos blow me away every time, but they also inspire me to the kitchen. My waistline may not be happy you took up blogging, but my mouth sure is.
Looks yummy, Jaden. I think I’ll give this one a try if my new neighbor has an ice cream maker. Last summer’s ice creams all were made with my neighbor’s machine which is very embarrasing to admit!!!!!!!! I love your dishes and photos and the colors you use. You are a master of mastering reflection in the photos as well. Bravo.
NY- don’t you wish we could have a food bloggers fair - each one of us gets a booth and gives out free samples of one of our dishes? Wouldn’t that be FUN!?
Thank you Lucy! Maybe its time to get your very own ice cream maker….this is so good that once you make it, you’ll not want to share any of it with your new neighbor. Borrowing without sharing would be baaaaaddd for neighborly relations!
I’ve been dying to try this recipe. Then yesterday my MIL came over and surprised us with two big bags of fresh off the tree sweet cherries (I live in the cherry capital)! So last night I popped my ice cream bowl in the freezer and my yogurt is ‘greeking’ as I type.
So I’m using your recipe but I’m adding in my fresh cherries and I can’t wait!
I want to try making this recipe, but the only thing I can find in my grocery is “imitation coconut” extract. I am wondering if that’s what you’re using or if it’s something more like Coco Lopez? If you are using real coconut extract, can you tell me the brand or where to get it? Thanks!

Your fro-yo is melting fast, fo-blo (sounds like pho-bo?!).
Eat it quick or yo will lose fro-yo to me…heh heh *evil laughter*
Beautiful! Keep us posted on the Pinkberry comparison. Maybe your next business venture will be opening Jadenberry FroYo.
Hi Jaden,
man, all this talk of fro-yo is making me want some! i was wondering if you have had any success keeping the frozen yogurt without it turning into a rock solid mass? thanks!

This particular ice cream lover will, at this point, look the other way …
I love this post. You really make me laugh! Seeing how I live where frozen yogurt doesn’t exist but Greek yogurt does, I think I will have to try this. (or I will give this fro yo a go!)
I need to buy new dishes. Your food is always dressed for an Oscar party.
I will have to try this! My hubbie loves loves coconut in anything, especially frozen yogurt. Yum. Lovely pic!
Tigerfish- you crack me up!!!
Lynn- I’ll definitely let you know if Pinkberry can stand a chance against this fro-yo!!

Hon, if it ain’t got 25% milkfat, I ain’t slurpin’!
My idea of a good night! since hubby dislikes coconut, that’s more for me!
I love the dish you used.

I thought of a fro-yo rap “in honor” of your fro-yo:
Use the co-co, in the fro-yo
Scoop the fro-yo, for the fo-blo
When the fo-blo plays the “yo-yo”
All we know be, YO…YO…YO!
Hope you like it!

Another beautiful and delicious recipe I have to bookmark. And “flogger” “fooger” and “fo-blo” all made me lol.

Hi Heidi,
I have this one:
Cuisinart
but its nothing to really rave about. If you go to slashfood.com I think they link to a review of ice cream makers.
I hope that you try the coconut version!
Thanks for the love, Steamy. By the way, your food floats somewhere between category 1 and 2. Your photos blow me away every time, but they also inspire me to the kitchen. My waistline may not be happy you took up blogging, but my mouth sure is.

Can I just dump everything into the blender, and then quick freeze it ? It’ll be heck of a good fro yo sorbet perhaps ? *grins*
Jaden,
Jinx again!
MW- I suppose you could. You mean I paid $50 for an appliance I really don’t need?!?!
WC- this is beginning to get scary!!!!
[...] A few days later, I did try Pinkberry. Both tasted good….but my Co-Co Fro-Yo by a Fo-Blo [...]
[...] Coconut Frozen Yogurt (Co-Co Fro-Yo by a Fo-Blo) [...]
he-he…there’s a local store who carries Greek style yogurt not far from my house! thanks for the recipe!
I’ve been dying to try this recipe. Then yesterday my MIL came over and surprised us with two big bags of fresh off the tree sweet cherries (I live in the cherry capital)! So last night I popped my ice cream bowl in the freezer and my yogurt is ‘greeking’ as I type.
So I’m using your recipe but I’m adding in my fresh cherries and I can’t wait!
Alex-
I’m so glad that you started coming to this site. You were a world class cook before, but now you’re throwing all this new, tasty food my way.
I Just finished a bowl of your Cherry Frozen Yogurt and it rocked my world. And I hate Cherry Ice Cream!
Best. Wife. Ever.
Thank you, Jaden and Thank you Alex!
