Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh fruit puree for swirling (strawberry, mango, or raspberry)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, sugar (if using), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  2. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed. Remember that frozen desserts taste less sweet when frozen, so it should be slightly sweeter than you prefer.
  3. Pour the yogurt mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. If adding fruit swirls, gently fold in your favorite fruit puree using a spatula. Create beautiful swirl patterns without overmixing.
  5. Transfer the frozen yogurt to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best results, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamiest texture; add 1/4 cup heavy cream for extra creaminess; ensure ice cream maker bowl is completely frozen before starting; experiment with flavor variations like lemon zest, cocoa powder, or cinnamon
