Decadent Frozen Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt adds a delicious tartness and extra creaminess to this simple but decadent ice cream recipe.

 

Ingredients

3/4 c cream
1 c plain greek yogurt (I use 2% or 0% fat)
1/2 c milk (low-fat or non-dairy is fine)
1/3-1/2 c sugar, depending on taste
1 tsp vanilla or other flavor extract of your choice (I have rum extract and almond flavor on my list to try)

Chocolate ganache for topping (combine 1 part chocolate and 1 part cream, whisked together over the low heat until smooth and creamy)

Preparation

Whisk together all ingredients. Chill overnight and freeze in an ice cream maker. Voila--delicious!

Optional flavor boost: For even more vanilla flavor, you may want to scald the cream first with a 1/2 vanilla bean. You can also thicken the cream and milk with cornstarch over the low-medium heat before blending with other ingredients. If you do either of these things, be sure to chill the ice cream mixture long enough to get the mixture very cold (at least 12 hours) before attempting to freeze it.
