Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat works best for creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1-2 cups fresh fruit puree (strawberries, peaches, or mango work well)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  2. If making fruit-flavored frozen yogurt, add your fruit puree. For creamy strawberry version, blend fresh strawberries until smooth and fold them into the yogurt mixture.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to help flavors meld together and ensure smoother freezing process.
  4. Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-30 minutes), or for no ice cream maker method: pour into shallow freezer-safe container, freeze for 1 hour, then remove and stir vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals, repeating every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours.
  5. Once frozen to your liking, scoop into bowls and serve immediately for soft-serve consistency, or freeze for another hour for firmer texture. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or honey.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamiest texture, don't skip chilling step, ensure ice cream maker bowl is completely frozen, add 1/4 cup heavy cream for extra creaminess, experiment with vanilla bean, lemon zest, or cocoa powder flavors.
