Method
 

Steps to Make Homemade Yogurt Ice Cream
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of full-fat Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup of honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh fruit puree for a fruity twist, aiming for a marbled effect.
  3. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Transfer to a shallow, freezer-safe container. If using an ice cream maker, churn according to instructions for 20-25 minutes. If not, freeze for 2 hours.
  5. After 2 hours, stir the mixture vigorously to break ice crystals. Return to freezer and repeat every 30 minutes for 2-3 cycles.
  6. Fold in any additional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts once soft-serve consistency is reached.
  7. Cover and freeze for another 2-3 hours until firm.
  8. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping, then serve and enjoy.
