This Greek Yogurt Ice Cream is a healthier twist on classic ice cream, offering a creamy texture with a tangy kick. Made with simple ingredients and customizable to your taste, it’s perfect for summer days or guilt-free indulgence year-round.

Ingredients

  • Greek Yogurt: 2 cups (plain, full-fat for creaminess; low-fat for lighter texture)
  • Sweetener: ½ cup honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon for added flavor depth
  • Milk or Cream: ½ cup almond milk, coconut milk, or heavy cream for richness
  • Optional Add-ins: Fresh fruits (berries, mangoes), chocolate chips, nuts, or peanut butter

Instructions

With an Ice Cream Maker

  1. Blend Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract, and milk/cream in a blender until smooth. If using add-ins like fruits or chocolate chips, fold them in after blending.
  2. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–25 minutes).
  3. Transfer the churned mixture to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture.

No-Churn Method

  1. Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture into an airtight container.
  2. Freeze for 6 hours, stirring every 30–45 minutes during the first 3 hours to break up ice crystals and achieve a smoother texture.
  3. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve in bowls or waffle cones with toppings like fresh fruit, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest results.
  • Stir frequently during freezing (no-churn method) to minimize ice crystals.
  • Let the ice cream soften slightly before scooping for easier serving.

Storage & Reheating

  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent freezer burn.
  • Allow frozen leftovers to thaw at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving.
