Make this easy, tart, and creamy frozen yogurt at home. It is a lower-fat alternative to ice cream and perfect for mixing with fresh fruit on a warm day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or non-fat)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk (any type)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. This is your base.
  2. If you have an ice cream maker, pour the yogurt base into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s directions, usually 20 to 25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  3. If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe dish. Freeze for 45 minutes, then remove and vigorously whisk or beat with an electric mixer to break up ice crystals. Return to the freezer. Repeat this process every 30 to 45 minutes for about 3 hours, until firm but scoopable.
  4. Gently fold in the mixed fresh berries during the last 5 minutes of churning or just before the final freeze if using the no-churn method.
  5. Transfer the frozen yogurt to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
  6. Serve this healthy treat for a perfect summer dessert.

Notes

  • For a lower-sugar option, substitute the granulated sugar with 1/3 cup of a zero-calorie sweetener blend.
  • If the frozen yogurt becomes too hard after freezing, let it sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping.
  • This recipe works well with any yogurt, but Greek yogurt provides the best creamy texture.
