Greek Style Frozen Yogurt

by lydia on August 17, 2011

If you like Greek yogurt drizzled with honey, this frozen yogurt is just for you. It has a wonderful tanginess to it that is ever so slightly sweetened by the honey. This is nothing like the frozen yogurt you purchase from a machine at a store. It’s a nourishing pro-biotic rich treat!

Greek Style Frozen Yogurt

Makes about 1 quart

2 quarts whole milk yogurt, preferably raw or with live bacteria, strained through cheesecloth in a strainer over a bowl for several hours.
2/3 cups of raw honey, or honey (or more to taste)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, or 2 teaspoons lemon zest

To strain the yogurt you will need about 6 cups of yogurt to yield 3 cups of strained yogurt. Place the 3 cups of strained yogurt in a blender or processor and blend with honey and vanilla or zest. Puree until combined, then add to the bowl of your ice cream maker and follow manufacturer instructions.
Serve with more honey to drizzle on top, or fresh berries.

Lydia,
I really REALLY want to make this. Wow it looks delish. Two things: I don’t want to make that much.. can I just use a couple cups of raw milk? And, can you explain the first step further? I have 1/2 gal. of raw milk….

Hey Mega,

You most certainly can half this recipe. If you only have raw milk you will need to make some yogurt first. Otherwise, pick up some good quality yogurt at the store and strain it to make it thick greek yogurt! Does that help? What exactly did you want to know?
