Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste) Use maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fruit of choice (berries, bananas, or peaches) Feel free to customize with your favorite fruits.
  • 1 pinch salt (optional) Enhances flavor, especially if using plain yogurt.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  2. If using plain yogurt, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
  3. Fold in your chosen fruit. If using berries, lightly mash them before adding for a vibrant swirl of color and taste.
Freezing
  1. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions, or pour into a shallow container for traditional freezing.
  2. If using a container, place it in the freezer and stir vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, until it reaches the desired creamy consistency.

Notes

For a vegan version, opt for a plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup. Serving suggestions include waffle cones, dessert bowls with crushed biscuits, or drizzling chocolate sauce on top.
