Hi Bold Bakers!
Cookies and Cream Frozen Yogurt has to be one of the most popular flavors at a frozen yogurt shoppe. I just love the different textures of crunchy cookie bits and creamy yogurt. This one is always my choice because you get stuff inside and on the top. I’m a big fan of stuff, and the more the merrier. Nowadays, thankfully Oreo Cookies can be found worldwide so this recipes should be easy for most people to recreate. However if you can’t buy Oreos then any chocolate cookie will work just fine.
My Frozen Yogurts are made using just a hand full of ingredients and best of all no ice cream machine. No Machine Frozen Yogurt means not having to worry about not owning an ice cream machine. I like to make recipes that are accessible to everyone as much as I can.
I don’t own an ice cream machine and I’m guessing a lot of you don’t either. What I do own is a food processor. My food processor is used for a multitude of recipes in my kitchen and I love it. There’s not much it can’t do so when I tried to make my own version of frozen yogurt in it I knew it was up to the challenge. The results are a smooth and creamy Frozen Yogurt that is second to none.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips
- Use whole milk yogurt or whole milk Greek yogurt and full-fat cream cheese for the best texture.
- This is very lightly sweetened so the tang of the yogurt shines through. Taste the mixture befor you add the oreos and add a touch more honey if you wish.
- You can replace the Oreos with another cookie of your choice.
- This is best eaten within the first 3 days of making as it can get a bit icy after that.
- You can make this with our Homemade Oreos! Or use the cookie part of this recipe to make Cookies and Cream Frozen Yogurt sandwiches!

Cookies and Cream Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) plain whole milk yogurt
- ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) full-fat cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey (or agave)
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8-10 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Add the yogurt, cream cheese, honey (or agave) and vanilla into a food processor and process until creamy, about 1 minute.
- Scrape down the side of the bowl to make sure there are no lumps, then add half of the crushed Oreos and pulse 5-8 times, until the cookie bits are broken up and evenly distributed.
- Fold in the remaining crushed Oreo cookies for extra texture.
- Transfer it to an airtight freezer-safe container and freeze for a minimum 6 hours but preferably overnight. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Hi Gemma!
Will it work if I use Kraft’s cream cheese spread for the Oreo frozen yogurt instead of the blocked cream cheese in this recipe that was used in the video?
Also, can I decrease the amount of cheese by using only 3oz? I think 4oz is 1/2 cup so is 3oz 1/3 cup. Please reply 🙂
Heyy Gemma, can I use curd instead of yogurt?how much?and I don’t have cream cheese instead of it will the curd do?
It was frozen solid when I froze it over night please help
Hi
Gemma
Is cream cheese very important ? Can we use something else instead of cream cheese if so plz tell me we don’t have cream cheese
Sineen ????
Do you still have the pdf with the labels?
I used this recipe as a base. Instead of using cookies I added on Graham crackers, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows to make a s’mores version. So good! The cream cheese makes it taste like cheesecake. I enjoyed it, but if you don’t care for a strong cream cheese flavor, I found it diminishes after a couple days in the freezer. Also, it is quite hard coming out of the freezer so best to let it sit out a bit before scooping. Great recipe! I’m excited to try it with the cookies sometime soon!
Thank you for sharing your lovely ideas, time and effort. I make your banana & chocolate frozen yoghurt often; as desserts go, I deem it on the healthier side. I also learnt a lot from the comments section: low water and fleshy fruits. Thanks again
Do you have a recipe for chocolate yogurt?
Thanks,
Overpowering cream cheese taste. More like cheese cake than ice cream
Also, Gemma what can I use instead of an air-tight container?
