Cuisine Greek
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen fruit (berries, mango, peaches, etc.)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional for extra tang)
In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt and your choice of fresh or frozen fruit. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If you want extra sweetness, add honey or maple syrup and blend again.
Optionally, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor or a tablespoon of lemon juice for a tangy kick.
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or shallow container. You can also use individual ice cream molds – kids love them! Cover and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until it hardens to your desired consistency.
Once frozen, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
Scoop and serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or let it freeze longer for a firmer consistency.
- You can mix 2 or more fruit varieties for unique flavors.
- You can also add chocolate scales to make a stracciatella-flavored ice cream.
- I recommend the Cuisinart ice cream maker to make your life easier and your ice cream better!
