Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the water.
Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes, until the blueberries burst and the mixture slightly thickens.
Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature, then blend it until smooth.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, Greek yogurt, honey, remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the milk mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it has a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer half of the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container.
Drizzle half of the blueberry mixture over the ice cream and use a spatula to gently swirl the blueberries into the ice cream.
Add the remaining ice cream on top, and drizzle with the rest of the blueberry mixture, swirling again.
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze the ice cream for at least 2-4 hours until firm.
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving.
