    I frequently freeze half a small pot of natural yogurt to use later as a starter for hm yogurt. While it works fine in the yogurt when it comes out of the freezer it is solid. So, I think the answer to your interesting question is no. Sorry :)

    I often put yoghurt in the freezer, obviously when you get them out there a frozen block but like getting anything else out the freezer you're not going to eat it right away (except maybe ice cream).
    You buy more than you need today, they go in the freezer, and you get them out a day before you want them.
    They'll be fine.

    We freeze yoghurts all the time, especially when petit filous is on BOGOF. They never get chance to defrost though - everyone likes eating them frozen (same as a Frube basically) !

    when ive frozen pots before they are so frozen they are awful-i know that sounds strange but they go tasteless and kind of watery.
    if you only put them in freezer for about 30 mins they are lovely so doesnt really help with getting a load when they are reduced

    something you could try is to mash up ripe bananas and mix in the yogurt you want to freeze. freeze in small portions or in an ice cube tray (just be sure to pop them out when frozen and store in an airtight tub or plastic bag) these are sooo nice they taste a lot like ice cream to be honest and are great if you're slimming

    if you stir the yogurt several times whilst it's freezing it should also help improve the texture as it will keep it from forming huge ice crystals.

    Often when you freeze pot yogs the yogurt expands, forcing off the plastic lid/cover (can't think what to call it! the top bit!) so they aren't very long lasting, or any use to take out of the house, whether or not they taste nice! I've had mixed results with freezing them recently - tesco value fruit yogurts (29p for 4) were fine, but the value natural yogurt separated into water and cheese!
    Good luck with whatever you try! :D

    I would say try it - it won't taste like the frozen yoghurt you get from a machine, but you may like it all the same!

    Following on from the ice cream maker thread, I have used it to make a raspberry frozen yoghurt using the recipe in the manual. It is delicious and I want to experiment with more. Do any of you have any recipes.

    Many thanks.
