Has anyone tried freezing Yoplait Whips yogurt?
I'm sure most of you have seen this commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk4YtXxzbM0&am p;feature=related about how putting Yoplait Whips yogurt in the freezer turns the yogurt into ice cream. So, have any of you guys tired it? Did the yogurt really turn into ice cream? I want to know if it works before I ruin my dads yogurt.
I have done this with regular yogurt not the whips. It turns out not like icecream so to speak but a nice healthier treat. The whips probably would be more creamy. I say try it. You can always let it thaw.
I just tried this yesterday!
Actually, it tastes like frozen go-gurt.
It's good though! I had the key lime pie flavor and I split it with my boyfriend. 70 calorie similar to ice cream fix on a day when I had already eaten all my calories. Pretty good. I think I'd do it again. The best part is it takes a long time to eat. That's what I like least about yogurt usually, it's gone so fast and you don't feel like you ate anything.
Just wondering, but why not just buy the frozen yogurt? I just got a tub of the Chapman's Dark Chocolate Rapture, and if I didn't know it wasn't ice-cream, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I want to try some of their other flavors, but I'll wait till this one is gone first.
But with regards to your original question, why not try it with a small portion and see. One thing I've heard suggested with regards to freezing yogurt is to stir it occasionally while freezing it, so it doesn't end up as one big chunk. Don't know if that applies to the whipped ones.

I have not tried Yoplait whips, but I love the frozen yogurt, the Schwans Wild Berry is very good. I have not tried the Raspberry swirl yet but it looks very good.
You can put most yoghurts in ice cream makers and it's.. well... FRO-YO!!
I don't have one but the closest I've come is putting greek yoghurt and honey (could do any yoghurt really) in the freezer till it's half frozen then whip it loads in a blender or with a whisk till it's smooth again, then refreeze, then repeat... fiddly but it is nice!
I have them stocked in my freezer - I really like it, especially now when the weather is warmer. But don't go expecting it to turn into frozen yogurt, in the ice cream sense. It tastes like yogurt, frozen. It still has that yogurt tangy quality. But If you like the yogurt to begin with, you will like it frozen. And I totally agree with kimothyschma that its nice that it takes so long to eat. :-)
This has become my ABSOLUTE favorite thing ever. I have tried eating yogurt in the past, and hated it. The sour taste made me gag.
I put the Yoplait whips in the freezer to try. It was the most delicious treat I've had in so long! It took me forever to eat. Savoring eat spoon full. I totally recommend it!
