Cool down this summer with my Key Lime Pie Frozen Yogurt. Making frozen yogurt has never been so fun!
Disclosure: As a Stonyfield Blogger, I received the YayLabs Ice Cream ball and a sample of Stonyfield Organic Yogurt free to develop this post. All opinions expressed are my own.
As the mother of a very active toddler, I’m always looking for new and fun activities to do with her.
So when Stonyfield teamed up with YayLabs!, I jumped at the chance to try out their SoftShell Ice Cream Ball. A fun summer activity to share with my daughter and at the end of it all, we would have a delicious frozen yogurt treat- how can you beat that?

This unique ice cream maker lets you make delicious frozen yogurt or ice cream anytime or anywhere and it’s all encased in a soft, colorful ball that will keep your kids entertained. Simply pour your ingredients into the inner canister and fill the other end with ice and rock salt. Then, the fun begins. Grab your kids and roll, shake or pass the ball around as the ingredients mix and freeze.
Living in sunny south Florida, I decided to go with a flavor based on a favorite hometown treat- key lime pie. I mixed Stonyfield Smooth & Creamy French Vanilla Yogurt with fresh key lime juice and a touch of honey to counteract the tartness of the limes. We have lots of lovely, fresh key limes at the market this time of year but if you’re not so lucky, you can substitute regular lime juice. To make things even more delicious, I decided to stir in some white chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers. Yum!
Sienna had a lot of fun rolling the ball around but being only two years old, she got a little bored after a while. So mommy and daddy finished up the job for her. Be careful not to let your kids throw, kick or drop the ball as they could injure themselves or damage it. Also, we found that a little bit of water
leakage occurred so you may want to make this an outdoor activity. It’s actually a great way to entertain kids at parties, picnics or even on camping trips.

After 20-25 minutes, we were delighted to open up the Ice Cream Ball and be greeted by a delicious tub of creamy, frozen yogurt. I scooped it up into bowls and topped it with some more white chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers and lime zest for extra measure. Needless to say, it didn’t last long!

Recipe Notes
*I used whole milk yogurt because I was making this for my daughter, but you can also use low fat yogurt. The texture of the finished product will be lighter and you will need to roll it a little longer.

Haha what a fun looking ice cream maker! I love key lime pie, esp w/ white chocolate chips! There's a yogurt out there (I forget the brand) that has key lime pie yogurt and white choc chips and graham cracker crumbs on the other side. It's sooo good and this recipe reminds me of that!
It was so much fun! I'll keep an eye out for that yogurt, it was really yummy combo! Thanks!
Wow, this looks magical! We don't have key limes here in Missouri, but I'll have to give it a try with regular limes. I have no doubt my kids will LOVE it! 🙂
Thanks so much Kalee! Regular limes would work great too 🙂
This is making me want a YayLabs ice cream ball immediately! Yum!

This ice cream maker is such a great idea, I would have never thought that making ice cream could be so fun and interactive! The key lime pie frozen yogurt looks delicious! Having fun rolling an ice cream maker ball AND having ice cream at the end sounds like a winning combination 🙂
Thanks so much Sarah! It's a pretty neat gadget, definitely fun for the kids 🙂
Gorgeous flavours… good a healthy too. This is the best excuse I've had all summer to dig that ice-cream maker out of the cupboard. Thanks Sonali ♥

Do you know if this would work in a regular ice cream maker?
Never seen this ice cream ball. Such a cute idea indeed. I mean, 10 means of working out with it and then enjoy your ice cream! Balance is the key, right?:) Needless to say, this ice cream is legit!
