Ninja CREAMi NC300UK with 3 tubs
Consider this model if you want to choose your own yoghurt-base ingredients and can freeze portions before processing. The listing includes three 473ml tubs and names seven programmes; its 1.4L stated capacity is across the tubs, not one processing cycle. Ninja Kitchen UK describes an overnight freeze, and Good Food reports one-pint-at-a-time processing. Check which programme the manufacturer recommends for your peach-yoghurt base, and keep the tubs level while freezing.

Common questions
Does less added sugar mean less total sugar in peach frozen yoghurt?
Not necessarily: yoghurt and peaches contribute to total sugars even when you add no sweetener. NHS guidance distinguishes sugars naturally present in milk and whole fruit from free sugars, which can include added sugar, honey, syrups, juice and fruit purées. Check your recipe ingredients and serving size rather than treating the machine as a measure of sugar content.
Should I choose a Ninja CREAMi-style processor or a compressor machine?
Choose a freeze-first processor if you can prepare individual bases ahead; consider a compressor machine if you want to churn without pre-freezing a bowl or make repeat batches. Ninja Kitchen UK describes an overnight freeze for the NC300UK, while Cuisinart specifies a built-in compressor and back-to-back batches for the ICE150U.
Can I freeze yoghurt close to its use-by date for a dessert base?
For pre-packed food, Food Standards Agency consumer guidance cited in its review permits freezing up to the use-by date and says to consume it within 24 hours once defrosted. Follow the yoghurt's own storage instructions and handle a homemade mixture with the same care.
Do I need a dedicated frozen-yoghurt setting?
Not always, but a stated setting makes the manufacturer's intended use clearer. Cuisinart lists a frozen-yoghurt preset for the ICE150U, and Sage includes frozen yoghurt among the BCI600UK's hardness settings. If a machine has no named setting, check its manual and recipe guidance for your yoghurt base.
