How do you make frozen yogurt from fresh yogurt?

If I put a bucket of fresh yogurt in the freezer, it'll be so hard that I can't spoon it out without breaking my wrist. How do I make it have an ice cream consistency and spoonable?

I'd suggest let it freeze a bit, then whip some air into it with your mixer, then freeze again? Never tried it though. I have made popsicles for DS with fruit and yogurt, but doesn't matter much if those are hard!

I did it with a half bucket of yogurt and I mixed it every half hour. I don't like eating yogurt as much. Frozen is much better. I have lots of coupons to get free yogurt, so now I don't have to throw them away. They expires on June 30 so this is perfect timing.
PA Supermarche is selling tubs of Danone for 3/$5 and I have $5 WUB 3 Danone. PA is very coupon unfriendly, so going to price match them at Maxi and Walmart. PA flyer starts today, so I have a whole week to price match everyday.

So did it work? Did you get a texture that you want?

Yogurt is extremely tricky to work with even most frozen yogurt recipes call for the yogurt to be eaten right away as it does freeze solid.

The only way to make frozen yogurt stay at soft frozen state is if it is mixed with other ingredients to stabilize the mixture.

No, I don't like it. Too many ice bits which makes it crunchy.
