Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust amount for sweeter flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Chopped peanuts
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend Until Smooth: Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps and the mixture is well combined.
- Churn in Ice Cream Maker: If you have an ice cream maker, transfer the mixture to the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze Without Ice Cream Maker: If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into an airtight container and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to ensure an even texture.
- Freeze to Desired Consistency: Continue freezing the yogurt until it reaches your desired consistency, approximately 4 hours in total.
- Serve and Top: Serve the frozen yogurt in bowls or cones, adding optional toppings like chopped peanuts or chocolate chips if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt will create a creamier texture, while low-fat will be lighter.
- If using an ice cream maker, avoid over-churning to preserve a soft-serve texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
