Description

This Homemade Greek Yogurt Ice Cream is a creamy, tangy treat combining Greek yogurt, honey, and cream to create a healthier, delicious frozen dessert. Its smooth texture and subtle sweetness make it perfect for a refreshing snack or dessert that balances indulgence with wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Combine Dairy Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, and whole milk to start building the creamy base for your ice cream.
  2. Blend Smoothly: Whisk the mixture together until it becomes smooth and well-blended, ensuring a uniform texture without lumps.
  3. Add Sweetener: Add the honey to the bowl and stir thoroughly until it dissolves completely, infusing natural sweetness throughout the mixture.
  4. Incorporate Flavorings: Pour in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, then stir again to evenly distribute these flavor enhancers.
  5. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least one hour to chill and meld flavors.
  6. Prepare for Churning: After chilling, remove the bowl from the refrigerator and pour the mixture into an ice cream maker.
  7. Churn Ice Cream: Follow your ice cream maker’s instructions to churn until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency, about 20-30 minutes depending on your machine.
  8. Transfer to Container: Once thickened, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container for freezing.
  9. Freeze Until Firm: Smooth the top with a spatula, cover the container, and freeze for at least four hours or until firm enough to scoop.
  10. Serve: Once frozen, scoop out the homemade Greek yogurt ice cream and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a firmer consistency, extend freezing time beyond four hours.
  • You can substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for different flavor notes.
  • Using full-fat Greek yogurt ensures the creamiest texture.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until firm to break up ice crystals.
  • Add fresh fruit or nuts during the last few minutes of churning for extra texture.
