Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creamiest texture)
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional: 1 cup fresh fruit puree (strawberry, mango, or mixed berries)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until completely smooth and well combined.
  2. If adding fruit swirl, prepare your fruit puree by blending fresh fruit until smooth. Gently fold 3/4 cup of the puree into the yogurt mixture, reserving the rest for swirling.
  3. Pour the yogurt mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, usually 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 hours. Remove and whisk vigorously to break up ice crystals, then return to freezer. Repeat every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours.
  5. For fruit swirl frozen yogurt, drizzle the remaining fruit puree over the churned yogurt and gently fold it in to create beautiful swirls.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Full-fat Greek yogurt creates the creamiest texture. For no-churn method, whisk every 30 minutes during initial freezing to prevent ice crystals. Store with parchment paper directly on surface to prevent freezer burn.
