DIY Caramelized Pear Frozen Yogurt

This frozen yogurt has the great combination of caramel balanced with naturally sweet fruit in a tangy yogurt base. My husband even liked this light fruit filled frozen yogurt better than rich caramel ice cream.

Homemade Caramel Pear Frozen Yogurt

• 1 large or 2 small pears finely diced
• 1/2 cup sugar (divided)
• 3 cups plain yogurt (homemade works great!)

1. After you finely diced the pears, put them in a small saucepan with 1/4 cup of sugar. Saute over low heat to caramelize the sugar. It may take a while to cook out the excess liquid from the pear to allow the sugar to thicken and caramelize.
2. Remove from heat, and allow the caramelized pear to cool.
3. Stir 1/4 cup of sugar into the yogurt.
4. Add the cooled pear pieces and stir to distribute evenly.
5. Freeze in an ice cream freezer, or follow these instructions to freeze in your regular freezer.

This recipe make about 1 quart or liter of frozen yogurt.
