- 1 pint blueberries (~2 1/2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon sugar, *add more as needed
- 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Add the blueberries and sugar to a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Strain: optional step. For a smooth consistency, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Mash the blueberries with the back of a large spoon to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the blueberries. Alternatively, use an immersion blender to puree the blueberries until they’re completely pureed.
- Refrigerate the blueberry mixture until it is completely chilled. To speed up this process, place the blueberry mixture in the freezer. (Keep an eye on the mixture so that it doesn’t freeze, and occasionally give it a stir.)
- Mix the chilled blueberry mixture with the Greek yogurt, then freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Serve immediately for a soft serve texture, or transfer the frozen yogurt to a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours for a scoopable consistency.
Notes
- Tip: Don’t forget to freeze your ice cream maker’s bowl—ideally for at least 12 hours before churning. Most models use a double-walled, liquid-filled container, and that liquid needs to be completely frozen solid to chill and churn your ice cream properly. Pop it in the freezer the night before so it’s ready when you are!
- Popsicles: To make popsicles, pour the yogurt mixture into popsicle molds, insert the sticks, and freeze for 6-8 hours.
- Ninja Creami: This also worked in the Ninja Creami! Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Freeze flat (not at an angle) for 24 hours. Remove the pint from the freezer and assemble the bowl into the machine. Select LITE ICE CREAM. If the mixture looks crumbly, add it back to the machine, press the re-spin button, and process a little more. Remove from the pint container and serve right away!
