Does anyone know how, or have anyone tried to make frozen yogurt at home?
The type I'm talking about is the kind that is made when you order it:
a slab of frozen yogurt is put into the machine along with some crushed
fruit of your choice, a lever is pressed and out it comes like soft ice cream.
Only it's much more refreshing than ice cream -- slightly tart, slightly
sweet and tastes of the fruit you selected. My favorites are kiwi and
strawberry.
Would it take an ice cream machine to make it? It costs almost twice as
much as ice cream here in Toronto, and only some "trendy" eateries offer it.

We put the yogurt containers from the store in the freezer for a couple of days. (They will last in there for about 8 weeks before icing up.) Then the night before (~8-10 hours) we want to eat them, we put them in the refridgerator. By breakfast time, you have a perfect soft-serve consistancy treat! We have experimented with several types of yogurt- La Yogurt works well, as do several generic (store brand) versions. The yogurt freezes to about the consistancy of hard ice cream. If you prefer it that way, you can eat it right out of the freezer. Here in Boulder, frozen yogurt is available at a lot of places. The price is generally about 25% higher than ice cream. Now if you are a super-yuppie, you must order Tofutti (frozen Tofu), at a really rip-off price. (No, I've never tried it. But I'm told it isn't too bad.) Happy eating. Now my mouth is watering for some frozen Pina Colada yogurt. (No, it isn't alcoholic. It is a coconut/pineapple mixture put out by La Yogurt. Boy, is it good.)

I have its Japanese edition. I believe that there is original English edition. There is many yogurt recipes in it (Soups,Fish,Seafood,Meat,Poultry,Vegetables, Salad,Dressings,Sources,Bread,Loaf Cake,Cookies,Pie...) also some "Frozen Yogurt". One of them... (Easy one.. because, It's hard that translate recipe in English for me.) Frozen Apricot Yogurt 180g (Dry) Apricot 3 tablespoons Sugar or Honey 1 tablespoon Gelatin 60cc Water 720cc Yogurt Put Apricots into source pan with the hot water, steep for a half day. Boil it for 20~30 minutes until apricot is soft. Add sugar or honey and cool. Put gelatin into bowl with water, and steep. Make cooled apricot puree by food processor or mixer. Melt gelatin and pour into apricot puree. Mix apricot and yogurt by food processor or mixer. Freeze it. Variation: use prune instead of apricot. (Can you read it???) By the way. Frozen Tofu ? There is another frozen Tofu in Japan (Maybe in US too?) called "Koya-Tofu". It really frozen Tofu, but very unlike frozen yogurt. Freeze Tofu for few month or a half year(I'm not sure). It make Tofu like sponge. Typical recipe for "Koyo-Tofu" is boiling with stock.
