Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
- 240 milliliters Rice milk (unsweetened)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, rice milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, almond extract, lime juice, and salt to the yogurt mixture. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the mixture for sweetness and flavor balance. Adjust as needed by adding a bit more sugar or lime juice, depending on your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 20–25 minutes) until it reaches a creamy, frozen consistency.
Transfer the churned frozen yogurt to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2–3 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve scooped into bowls or cones, and optionally sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
