Blueberry Frozen Yogurt, made with only five ingredients, including fresh blueberries, is slightly tart and delicious! Make this in your ice cream maker or a Ninja Creami.
Blueberry Frozen Yogurt
There’s a farm on Long Island where you can go berry picking, and they make the BEST homemade blueberry ice cream. Since making my chocolate frozen yogurt in my Ninja Creami, I started playing around with other flavors and was dying to try it using fresh blueberries. It turned out even better than I imagined! I also tested it in a standard ice cream maker, and it worked well. Some other frozen desserts that I love are Frozen Banana Pop, Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt, and Frozen Fruit Pops.
Since there is no heavy cream in this frozen yogurt recipe, I recommend using whole milk yogurt to give it more of a creamy consistency. Since I am watching my sugar intake, I used monk fruit sweetener for the blueberries, but you can use cane sugar or any sweetener you prefer.
How to Make Frozen Blueberry Yogurt
- Blueberries: Combine the blueberries, monk fruit sweetener, and water, and cook uncovered on medium-low for about seven minutes. Once the berries cool, blend them until smooth and press through a mesh strainer.
- Freeze: Stir in the agave syrup and yogurt with the berries, pour into a Ninja Creami pint, and freeze for 24 hours.
- Process: Take the pint out of the freezer and remove the lid. Put the container in the Ninja Creami and select “LITE ICE CREAM.” When the machine is done processing the yogurt, open the pint and check the texture. If it looks crumbly, put it back in the machine and spin it again. If it looks good, eat it right away or store it in the freezer for later.
Variations:
- Berries: Swap the blueberries for strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries, or use a combination for mixed berry yogurt.
- Sweetener: Sub cane sugar or agave syrup for monk fruit.
- Yogurt Bark: I bet this frozen dessert would be amazing as yogurt bark. Simply pour the yogurt on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and freeze. Then, break up the bark into pieces and eat it frozen.
- Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Popsicles: Make popsicles by pouring the yogurt mixture into popsicle molds, insert the sticks, and freeze for six hours.

Can I use frozen blue erries?
We loved this and decided to make it again. Both times I have made it it does not fill to the fill line on the Creami. Is it supposed to fill to the line. I realize it is 2 servings.
This happened to me and I added more yogurt until it reach the line. It still tasted amazing!
Is there a monkfruit sweetner that you recommend? I use Lakanto in hot things, but find that it crystalizes in cold things.
Made this today and it is absolutely delicious! I prepped the blueberries with 1/2 sugar 1/2 monk fruit, last night, let it chill overnight. Mixed in the yogurt and used my older Cuisinart ice cream machine to freeze. Excellent!
Aaaaaand now I have bought a Ninja Creami. 😂
Loved this recipe – and so did my 10 year old. I added a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to counterbalance the sweetness. Next time, I’ll probably leave out the agave or use less sugar.
Hi! Love this recipe, but can you make it without the ninja or ice cream making? Thank you
Yes, check out her post, she tells you how… https://barefeetinthekitchen.com/ice-cream-without-a-machine/
I really did buy a Creami for this recipe and now that I’ve tried it, I can confirm that this recipe is what blueberry dreams are made of! I used wild blueberries (because I had them), half sugar/half monk fruit. I didn’t have agave, but honey was such a delightful addition that I’ll make it that way again. I only had 2% yogurt, but it was incredibly creamy and delicious. In fact, I’m getting ready to make it again–this time with strawberries! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Can nonfat yogurt be used instead of the whole milk?
I was wondering the same thing but I really don’t see why not. I would think the finished product would be a bit less creamy, but that’s not a deal breaker for me. I made this Sunday night using regular Fage and it was delicious. I have my ice cream maker in the freezer now & I’m trying it with the 2%. I’ll let you know.
This looks amazing and I’d love to see where the farm is I’m on Long Island!!
It’s call Patty’s Berries and Bunches!
I don’t have agave syrup. Is there a substitute or can I leave it out?
honey
Is there anything else I could use since I do not have an ice cream maker?
Maybe pour it into ice cube trays and blend it up? Won’t be as creamy though, more slushy I would imagine.
Adding one banana provides all the creamy you need!
Go for it!
Could you use almond milk yogurt instead of whole milk yogurt?
Sure, not sure how it will taste. Let me know!
