Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Prepare the blackberries: If using fresh blackberries, rinse and dry them. If using frozen, let them thaw slightly. Blend the blackberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
- Mix the yogurt: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Add the strained blackberry puree and stir until well combined.
- Churn the frozen yogurt: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the frozen yogurt reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze for firmness: For a firmer texture, transfer the churned frozen yogurt to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy! Garnish with fresh blackberries or a drizzle of honey if desired.
This Blackberry Frozen Yogurt is a refreshing, tangy, and lightly sweetened dessert that’s perfect for enjoying the natural flavors of fresh berries in a cool, creamy form!
