Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Whisk or blend using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

Step 2: Fold in Add-Ins (Optional)
If using chocolate chips or chopped peanuts, gently fold them into the yogurt mixture.
You can also swirl in a bit of fruit jam for a sweet-tart contrast.

Step 3: Freeze the Mixture
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with a lid.
Freeze for at least 4-5 hours or until firm enough to scoop.

Step 4: Serve
Remove from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
Scoop into bowls or cones and top with your favorite extras like sliced banana, extra peanuts, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.

Tips for Perfect Frozen Yogurt
Use Full-Fat Yogurt – It creates a creamier texture and less icy finish.
Don’t Over-Sweeten – The sweetness intensifies slightly once frozen, so taste before freezing.
Mix Well – Ensure all ingredients are fully blended for a smooth consistency.
Store Properly – Keep in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals.

Serving Suggestions
Chocolate Shell – Drizzle with melted chocolate that hardens for a fun texture.
Fruit Toppings – Top with berries, banana, or kiwi for a fruity twist.
Graham Cracker Crumbles – Sprinkle on top for a bit of crunch.
Parfait Style – Layer with granola and sliced fruit for a breakfast-dessert hybrid.

How to Store & Re-Serve

Storing:
Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks for best flavor and texture.
Place plastic wrap directly on the surface before sealing to avoid freezer burn.

Re-Serving:
Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
For a softer consistency, blend a portion in a food processor before serving.
