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

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Freeze to Desired Consistency: Continue freezing the yogurt until it reaches your desired consistency, approximately 4 hours in total.
  6. 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.
