Friday Faves – Big City Cooking makes Frozen Yogurt
Niki from Big City Cooking is another one of those bloggers that I started following a while ago. I love the consistency of the approachable recipes that she posts. Niki just announced yesterday that she’s renaming her blog three square to merge her blog with her business. Be sure to check out her first wedding cake order pictures which are getting posted today hopefully!
Hi my name is Niki [aka wifeplzak] and I started the blog Big City Cooking in June of 2008. At that time I was a newly wed with a husband who was back in school and therefore I had lots of free time on my hands. I started playing around in the kitchen and discovered a passion for food. I soon went back to school myself to pursue my culinary arts certificate and now operate a small catering business. Feel free to come check out my blog any time!
I am currently expecting my first baby [three more months to go!] and have been suffering from an incurable craving for frozen yogurt. Luckily for me a new shop opened up two blocks from my office. I now go there 3-4 times a week. eek! As there are no frozen yogurt places near my house in the burbs I decided I should learn to make my own. Man was I surprised when I found out how simple it really it. Plus I love finding a new reason to use my ice cream maker. I added vanilla and sprinkles to this batch but the possibilities are endless. I am thinking frozen raspberries and chocolate chips will be my next creation. While I day dream flavor combinations you should seriously try this recipe!

Yield: 1 quart
Ingredients:
3 cups Greek-style yogurt
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp sprinkles

Freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. After approximately 20 minutes in the ice cream maker add the sprinkles.

YUM! I am making beer cupcakes soon! 😀
Try putting some ground coriander seeds in the glaze as well, and you have a belgian witbier cupcake. Turned out awesome! Thanks for the great recipie

Oh what a great suggestion – thanks!
Thinking about making these for the superbowl, do you think i could add food coloring to the glaze? Or would these work still with a buttercream? I want to do team colors. Thanks for the great recipe!

Sorry for not responding sooner. Food coloring could definitely be added to the glaze. Did you end up doing that or doing buttercream?
This looks great! How strong is the Hefeweizen laste in the actual cupcake without glaze? I’m making a cake for a brewery with a Hef that just won an award and was going to go for a flavored crusted buttercream to draw on instead of glaze and just wondering the taste of the cake. Thank you and love your site!

This was a guest post and I didn’t actually make the recipe. I would assume it’s pretty subtle…
