Mango frozen yogurt (without an ice cream machine)

The other day, I noticed that we had about 8 mangos in our fridge and I wasn't sure how they got there. Well, it was over 100 degrees outside and I wanted something cold to eat. So I decided to make mango frozen yogurt. I have never made one before, but its could not have been difficult. Then I realized that we didn't have an ice cream maker.
This is what you'll need. If you have full fat yogurt, it will be richer.
Cut the ends off of the mango so it can sit up so it looks like this
Carefully hold the mango and cut the skin off.
Its like a melon; you want to yellow, but not the green.
Mangos have weird shaped pits.


Mango Frozen Yogurt
servings about 4

1 mango, peeled and diced
4 tbsp. honey
1/4 milk
1/4 coconut milk (optional)
1 cup plain yogurt
2-4 tbsp. sugar (depends on sweetness of mangos)

1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smotth.
2. Place the mixture into a freezer safe bowl; cover it
3. Stir 45 minutes later and then 1 1/2 hours later. Then do it again about 30 minutes after that.
4. Allow the mixture to freeze and serve.

Note: If you keep the mixture in the freezer over night, zap it in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Then place the slightly softened mixture into a blender with 1/2 -1 1/4 cup of milk and blend until thick and smooth.
Serve.
>> It is good good by itself or top it with some pistachios or blueberries.
