What you need:
- 250 ml of plain Greek yogurt
- 100 ml of whole liquid cream
- 50 g of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 100g of candied winter fruits (figs, dried apricots, candied orange peel, raisins)
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
Preparation :
- Prepare the candied fruit : Chop the candied fruit (figs, dried apricots, orange peel) into small pieces. They will add texture and sweet flavor to your ice cream. Set them aside to add at the end.
- Prepare the yogurt base : In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. The Greek yogurt provides a creamy, thick texture that transforms into a deliciously smooth ice cream. If you'd like an extra touch of sweetness, you can add a tablespoon of honey at this point.
- Allow to cool : Once well mixed, place the preparation in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes so that it is very cold before freezing.
- Freezing : Pour the yogurt mixture into the Ninja Creami jar and place it in the freezer for 24 hours.
- Ice cream transformation : After 24 hours, place the tub in the Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" mode. Once the ice cream is ready, add the candied fruit, cut into small pieces, and use the "Mix-ins" mode to incorporate it without crushing it.
- Tasting : Your frozen yogurt with candied winter fruits is ready to be enjoyed! The freshness of the yogurt blends perfectly with the sweet pieces of candied fruit, creating a light yet indulgent treat. For even more indulgence, you can add a few extra pieces of candied fruit as a topping.
