Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) - for Berry Blast variation
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice - for Berry Blast variation
  • Additional 1/4 cup honey - for Berry Blast variation
  • 2 cups mango and pineapple chunks - for Tropical Paradise variation
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk - for Tropical Paradise variation
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice - for Tropical Paradise variation

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Strain Greek yogurt if desired for extra creamy texture by placing yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined strainer over a bowl and refrigerating for 2-4 hours to remove excess whey
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine strained yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt, then whisk vigorously until smooth and well-combined
  3. For fruit variations, puree chosen fruits with any additional sweeteners or flavorings, then gently fold fruit puree into yogurt base until evenly distributed
  4. Pour mixture into shallow freezer-safe container or ice cream maker, if using ice cream maker churn according to manufacturer's instructions
  5. For no-churn method, freeze for 2 hours, then whisk vigorously to break up ice crystals, repeat every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours until desired consistency is reached

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamiest texture, always taste mixture before freezing and make it slightly sweeter than desired as flavors mute when frozen, add mix-ins like dark chocolate chips or toasted coconut after initial freezing period
