Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 300 grams Fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., strawberries, mango, or blueberries)
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
If using fresh fruit, wash, peel (if necessary), and chop the fruit into small pieces.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fruit, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and honey (if using). Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier frozen yogurt, pulse the mixture until there are small fruit pieces left.
Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and strain the fruit puree to remove seeds or pulp, if desired. Skip this step if the texture of the puree is already smooth to your liking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the fruit puree, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract (if using) until well combined.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill. This step ensures a smoother texture when churning in the ice cream machine.
Set up your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour the chilled fruit yogurt mixture into the machine.
Churn the mixture for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
For a firmer texture, transfer the churned frozen yogurt into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours.
Serve the frozen fruit yogurt as is or garnish with fresh fruit, granola, or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
