Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 2 cups Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the raspberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the raspberries, honey, and lemon juice. Use a fork to mash the raspberries until you achieve a slightly chunky texture.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the fat-free Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold the raspberry mixture into the yogurt mixture, gently stirring to combine while still maintaining some raspberry swirls.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals.
Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm before serving.
To serve, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
