Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 2 cups Greek Yogurt can substitute with low-fat yogurt, but it may alter the creaminess.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream do not omit for optimal texture; can use full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • ½ cup Whole Milk can replace with non-dairy milk for a lighter version.
  • ¾ cup Honey alternative sweeteners include agave syrup or maple syrup.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract essential for depth of taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice crucial for enhancing the yogurt's tartness and freshness.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • whisk
  • Ice cream maker
  • airtight container

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of Greek yogurt, 1 cup of heavy cream, and ½ cup of whole milk. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients smoothly for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Next, incorporate ¾ cup of honey into your mixture. Stir vigorously until the honey is fully dissolved, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the mixture, stirring gently for another minute.
  4. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour.
  5. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Churn until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, typically about 20-25 minutes.
  6. Transfer your freshly churned Greek Yogurt Ice Cream into an airtight container. Smooth the surface with a spatula, then freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  7. Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
