Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and finely chopped fresh mint leaves, ensuring the mint is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
- Add honey to the yogurt mixture and whisk thoroughly until the honey is completely incorporated and the mixture becomes smooth and well-blended.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently, making sure they are evenly spread throughout the yogurt mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a flat surface.
- Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place the container in the freezer and allow the frozen yogurt to set for approximately 2-3 hours, or until it reaches a firm, scoopable consistency.
- Remove from the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the frozen yogurt to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Serve in chilled dessert bowls and optionally garnish with additional fresh mint leaves or extra chocolate chips.
Tips
- Use fresh mint leaves for the most vibrant flavor - dried mint just won't compare!
- Ensure your Greek yogurt is full-fat for the creamiest texture possible.
- Chill your mixing bowl beforehand to help the mixture freeze more evenly.
- For extra smooth consistency, consider using a hand mixer when combining ingredients.
- If you want a more intense mint flavor, you can add a few drops of pure mint extract.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for a more sophisticated flavor profile.
- For a softer frozen yogurt, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain the best texture.
