This Frozen Yogurt with Berries is creamy, fresh, and easy to make without an ice cream maker. You whisk lime juice, honey, vanilla, and condensed milk together, then stir in Greek yogurt and let the freezer do the rest.
Just before serving, add a spoonful of strawberry jam, fresh berries, and mint. It is simple, but it looks lovely in little glasses.
Why You'll Want to Make This
This is the kind of dessert I like to make before guests arrive, so there is almost nothing left to do later.
The Greek yogurt gives it a fresh tang, the condensed milk makes it creamy, and the honey adds a soft sweetness. Lime keeps the flavor bright, while the strawberry jam and berries on top make each glass look colorful and finished.
You can keep it simple with strawberries, or use whatever berries look best that day.
What You Need
- Lime juice: Fresh lime juice gives the frozen yogurt a bright, fresh flavor. Roll the limes over the counter before cutting them to get more juice out.
- Honey: Honey adds a gentle sweetness that blends well with the yogurt and lime.
- Vanilla extract: Vanilla rounds out the flavor and makes the frozen yogurt taste softer. Make vanilla extract yourself.
- Condensed milk: Condensed milk makes the frozen yogurt creamier and gives it a smooth sweetness. Whisk it well with the lime juice, honey, and vanilla first.
- Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is the base of this dessert. Use a thick Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture.
- Strawberry jam: The jam goes on just before serving. It adds color, sweetness, and a fruity finish.
- Fresh red berries: Use strawberries, raspberries, red currants, or a mix. Pat them dry if they are very juicy.
- Mint leaves: Mint gives a fresh finish and makes the glasses look pretty.
How to Make It
- Step 1: Whisk the lime juice, honey, vanilla extract, and condensed milk together until smooth.
- Step 2: Stir in the Greek yogurt until everything is evenly mixed.
- Step 3: Spoon the mixture into serving glasses and freeze for at least 3 hours.
- Step 4: Just before serving, top each glass with strawberry jam, fresh berries, and mint.
Top Tips
- Use thick Greek yogurt for a creamier frozen yogurt.
- Cover the glasses well before freezing. That keeps the flavor fresh and helps prevent ice crystals on top.
- If the frozen yogurt is very firm, let the glasses stand on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- Add the strawberry jam, berries, and mint only right before serving. The topping looks better and stays fresh.
- You can easily change the topping. Try raspberry jam with raspberries, blueberry jam with blueberries, or strawberry jam with extra sliced strawberries.
