Ingredients (Makes 6 servings):
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
- 1/3 cup granulated zero-calorie sweetener (e.g., Stevia, Monk Fruit, or Splenda)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Blend the Base:
Combine the raspberries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. - Chill:
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer for about 1–2 hours, or until it begins to firm up. - Stir (No Ice Cream Maker Needed):
Remove the dish from the freezer and stir the mixture every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals. Repeat 3–4 times until the ice cream is smooth and scoopable. - Serve:
Scoop into bowls and enjoy immediately, or freeze for an additional hour for a firmer texture.
