Note

For a smoother texture, you can soak the dried apricots in warm water for 10 minutes before blending, then drain well.

If the frozen yogurt is too hard to scoop, let it sit out for a few minutes or microwave individual servings for 10-15 seconds.

This dessert is best enjoyed within 1 week of freezing for optimal flavor and texture.

You can substitute the orange juice with apple juice or pineapple juice for a different flavor profile.

For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt instead of low-fat yogurt.
