My second experiment with the new ice cream maker was this: mango lassi frozen yogurt. Mango lassi happens to be one of my favorite dairy treats, so the combination of "frozen" and "lassi" seemed like an obvious one. I also adore mangoes and can never eat them fast enough, so all the more reason to give this frozen version a go.

1. First I began by pureeing two fresh mangoes in a blender with just enough water as was necessary to grind them to a smooth mixture.

2. Then I combined 16 oz of Greek yogurt (rBGH free) together with the mango mixture and 1/2 cup sugar in the ice cream maker.

3. While the mixture was churning, I also added 1/2 tsp cardamom and 3 drops yellow food coloring for a vibrant yellow color. I additionally added 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

3. After 30 mins of churning, the frozen mango lassi was ready to be frozen for about four hours before being served.

Result: awesome!! This is my new favorite frozen treat; I'm kind of surprised you don't hear about "frozen lassi" more often. The combination of the sweet-sour mangoes, the tartness of the yogurt, and the sweetness of the sugar, vanilla bean, and cardamom was a winning combo which I will surely be preparing again and again.
