Freezing Yoghurt?
 

I think this topic has been raised before, but I never paid any
attention to it...

I have been given a large amount of plain yoghurt, and was wondering
if it can be frozen without too much degradation to the texture?
Anyone done this, what has been your experience? TIA.

Yogurt freezes very well... don't you notice all those frozen yogurt
produts in the ice cream aisle?

I bought a boatload of Greek style yogurt when it was super cheap, and
put it in my deep freeze. It thawed out nicely. I don't know about the
higher moisture content stuff.

And so do milk cream and eggs. Just look at all the ice cream made
with them.

But they all have stabilizers such as Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum,
and Carrageenan

Rather than freezing it, I'd turn it into yogurt cheese. It'll shrink the volume and give you something else to eat ipo cream cheese or cottage cheese.

They don't melt, they thaw, you uneducated dwarf. Frozen containers
of yogurt are one of the most common brown baggers treats (even keeps
the tuna salad sandwich from getting to room temperature), perfectly
ready to eat by lunch time, with no difference in texture whatsoever
from never frozen yogurt, except if not fully thawed it's extra
enjoyable. You are such a know nothing, dwarf. Oh, and if not eaten
thawed yogurt can be refrozen with no change in texture.

Thanks for most of the replies, I guess since I can't use it all
straight away and can't give any more away, I have nothing to lose by
freezing it. Cheers.

Yogurt cheese? That's something new to me. Just looked it up, so it's
basically thickened, creamy yoghurt. Not a bad idea... except that I
have also acquired a large amount of Brie and Dutch Maasdam cheese as
well :)

Just freeze it in manageable portions, not all in one large container.

Draining the excess water from yogurt won't lengthen its shelf life...
you'll still need to eat fast or freeze it.

Good idea. I had to go into town last night and bought some frozen
blueberries while I was there. Weather is warming up here and its time
for blueberry smoothies, methinks. I used to have one almost daily for
years, then inexplicably stopped for no particular reason.
