Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 80 grams Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Instructions
In a blender, combine Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the fresh mixed berries to the blender. Pulse a few times to incorporate, but avoid over-blending to keep some bits of fruit in the ice cream.
Stir in the lemon zest and chia seeds into the yogurt mixture using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour the yogurt mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Serve the creamy yogurt ice cream scooped into bowls, and garnish with additional fresh berries if desired.
