Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Add the frozen mixed berries, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon juice to a blender or food processor.
Step 2: Blend the Fruit
Blend until the berries are finely crushed and begin to soften into a thick mixture.
Step 3: Add the Creaminess
Add the Greek yogurt or heavy cream. Blend again until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and evenly combined.
Step 4: Add Texture (Optional)
If desired, fold in a handful of chopped berries with a spatula for extra bursts of fruit in every bite.
Step 5: Serve or Freeze
Serve immediately for a soft-serve style dessert.
For a firmer frozen texture, transfer to a container and freeze for 45 to 60 minutes before serving.
How to Make It Perfect Every Time
Use Quality Frozen Berries
High-quality berries create better flavor, brighter color, and smoother texture.
Blend in Stages
Blending the fruit first helps break it down evenly before adding the dairy, resulting in a creamier finish.
Choose Full-Fat Dairy
Whole milk Greek yogurt or heavy cream gives the dessert a luxurious texture and prevents iciness.
Sweeten Gradually
Taste the mixture before adding more sweetener, since berries vary in tartness.
Chill to Desired Consistency
Freeze a little longer if you prefer firm scoops, or enjoy immediately for a soft and creamy dessert.
