Berry Frozen Yogurt

Berry frozen yogurt became my go-to summer treat during a heatwave when I needed something cold refreshing and a little indulgent without spending hours in the kitchen. I had a bowl of fresh berries that were just on the edge of overripening and instead of baking with them I blended them into yogurt popped it in the freezer and what I ended up with was the creamiest fruity dessert that cooled me off and made me feel like I’d made something special.

Now I keep frozen berries stocked all year because this recipe is too good to save just for hot days it’s creamy sweet tangy and incredibly easy to make plus it feels lighter than ice cream which means I don’t think twice about grabbing a scoop for an afternoon snack or even breakfast.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Mixed berries – They add sweet and tart flavor plus beautiful natural color.
• Greek yogurt – Gives the frozen yogurt a thick creamy texture and tangy base.
• Honey or maple syrup – Naturally sweetens the mixture without overpowering the berries.
• Vanilla extract – Enhances the berry flavor and rounds out the tanginess.
• Lemon juice – Adds brightness and keeps the flavor fresh.

Tools You’ll Need

• Food processor or blender – To blend everything into a smooth creamy mixture.
• Mixing bowl – If you want to stir extra berries or toppings in by hand.
• Rubber spatula – Helps transfer the mixture easily and scrape down sides.
• Freezer-safe container – To store the frozen yogurt for later scooping.
• Ice cream scoop – Makes serving fun and easy with clean round scoops.

Instructions

Step 1:

I start by placing the frozen berries into the food processor along with the Greek yogurt honey vanilla extract and lemon juice.

Step 2:

I blend everything until it’s completely smooth scraping down the sides as needed to make sure no chunks remain.

Step 3:

At this point I like to taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a little more honey.

Step 4:

I transfer the blended yogurt into a freezer-safe container and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 5:

Then I cover the container and freeze it for at least 2 to 3 hours until it firms up enough to scoop.

Step 6:

When I’m ready to serve I let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly then scoop and enjoy!

Tips

For extra texture I sometimes stir in a handful of whole berries or chocolate chips before freezing. You can also use different berry blends or just stick with one kind like blueberries or raspberries. And if you want it softer more like soft-serve you can eat it right after blending—no freezing needed!
