Blueberry Frozen Yogurt
Description
Blueberry Frozen Yogurt uses frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, lemon juice, and salt to produce a creamy, tart frozen dessert. The ingredients are blended together, incorporating the frozen berries and yogurt to achieve a smooth consistency. The lemon juice adds brightness, balancing the sweetness of the syrup and the natural tang of the yogurt. It can be served immediately for a soft texture or frozen longer for a more scoopable frozen yogurt.
The method includes blending all components in a high-powered blender until smooth. Serving ideas include garnishing with additional frozen blueberries and fresh mint leaves for visual appeal and an extra burst of flavor. This frozen yogurt offers a dairy-based treat with the natural color and flavor of blueberries.
An alternate method involves simmering fresh berries with sweetener and lemon for a cooked berry base before blending with chilled yogurt, which can yield a different texture and flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries frozen
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt full-fat
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions

- Freezer Greek yogurt in ice cube trays.
- Use Vitamix for best consistency. Blend frozen blueberries, frozen Greek yogurt, lemon juice with zest, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt until it smooth.
