Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt, plain, preferably non-fat
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen)
Sweeteners & Flavorings
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup) (Adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add Greek yogurt, blueberries, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a uniform texture.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the blended mixture and add more honey or maple syrup as needed to achieve your preferred level of sweetness. Blend briefly again to mix.
- Churn the mixture (optional): If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into it and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually about 20-25 minutes.
- Freeze without an ice cream maker: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and place it in the freezer.
- Stir periodically: During the first 3-4 hours of freezing, stir the mixture every hour to prevent large ice crystals from forming, creating a smoother texture.
- Final freeze and soften: Once fully frozen (at least 4 hours), let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
- Serve and enjoy: Scoop the blueberry Greek frozen yogurt into bowls or cones and enjoy a refreshing, healthy dessert.
Notes
- For a thicker texture, strain the Greek yogurt to remove excess whey before blending.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, thaw slightly for easier blending.
- Adjust sweetness according to berry tartness and personal preference.
- For a creamier consistency without an ice cream maker, stir every 30 minutes during freezing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
