Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 75 grams Honey
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
Add in the honey and continue to whisk until the honey is fully incorporated into the yogurt and cream mixture.
Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes or until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
