You will adore this homemade blueberry frozen yogurt if you want a delicious, refreshing, and healthful snack.
It has a lot of fresh blueberry flavor and is quite creamy. It is also very easy to create with only a few ingredients.
I enjoy making this on hot days since everyone loves it, and kids go bananas over it!
You don’t need any special tools; just a blender or food processor will do.
Let’s get started!
Things you’ll need:
- Food processor or blender
- Container that is safe for the freezer but not too deep
- Spatula
- Cups and spoons for measuring
What You Will Need:
- 2 cups of blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons of honey (or more or less to taste)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, but it makes the taste brighter!)
How to Make Frozen Yogurt with Blueberries
- Mix the ingredients
Put the blueberries, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender. Mix until smooth.
- Taste and make changes
Taste the mixture and add more sugar if you think it needs it. If it’s not sweet enough, add more honey. Mix it again for a few seconds. - Freeze
Pour the mixture into a shallow container that can go in the freezer and use a spatula to smooth the surface. Cover closely and put in the freezer for 2–3 hours. - Serve and have fun!
Put the frozen yogurt in bowls or cones and eat it right away. For added fun, add your favorite toppings!
Helpful Tips:
- Check the sweetness by tasting the blueberries first! You might not need as much honey if they are very sweet.
- Chill Everything: Before mixing, make sure all of your ingredients, especially the yogurt, are cold. This will make the texture creamier.
- Blend Smooth: If you want it to be really smooth, blend it for a little longer and get rid of the blueberry skins.
- Freeze Smart: Use a shallow dish to freeze things faster.
- Fun for Kids: Let the kids add things like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or oats!
Changes and Substitutions:
- Instead of blueberries, use strawberries, raspberries, or a variety of berries.
- Try using agave or maple syrup instead of honey for a distinct taste.
- If you don’t want to eat dairy, try coconut yogurt.
Tips for Making Ahead:
You may make the frozen yogurt a week in advance. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before you scoop it out.
Leftovers and how to store them:
You may keep frozen yogurt in the freezer for up to a week if you store it in an airtight container. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.
The End
And that’s it!
A really easy and healthful dessert that is great for hot days and full bellies.
I hope your family enjoys this blueberry frozen yogurt as much as mine does.
