Ingredients:
- 3 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- ½ cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the raspberries: If using fresh raspberries, rinse and pat them dry. If using frozen raspberries, allow them to thaw slightly. Blend the raspberries in a food processor or blender until smooth. For a smoother yogurt, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the raspberry puree, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
- Chill the mixture: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour to let the flavors meld and the mixture chill thoroughly.
- Churn the yogurt: Transfer the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes. The frozen yogurt should have a soft-serve consistency at this stage.
- Freeze until firm: For a firmer texture, transfer the churned yogurt into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve and enjoy: Scoop the raspberry frozen yogurt into bowls or cones, and garnish with fresh raspberries or mint leaves if desired.
Enjoy your homemade Raspberry Frozen Yogurt as a guilt-free, fruity delight!
