Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup honey or agave syrup
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and honey (or agave syrup), whisking until smooth and well blended.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, carefully crushing some of them to release their natural juices and create a marbled effect throughout the mixture.
- Add the vanilla extract and stir to incorporate, which will enhance the overall flavor profile of the frozen yogurt.
- Roughly chop the dark chocolate chips into smaller pieces to distribute more evenly throughout the mixture.
- Fold the chopped dark chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are distributed evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place the container in the freezer and allow to set for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes to maintain a creamy texture.
- Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow slight softening for easier scooping.
- Serve in chilled dessert bowls, optionally garnishing with additional fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips.
Tips
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
- Crush some raspberries intentionally to create a beautiful marbled effect.
- Chop dark chocolate chips into smaller pieces for more even distribution.
- Stir the mixture every 30-45 minutes during freezing to prevent ice crystals.
- Let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use dairy-free dark chocolate chips.
- Experiment with different honey varieties or maple syrup for unique flavor profiles.
- Use a metal container for faster and more even freezing.
