Thick and Creamy Greek Honey Frozen Yoghurt Recipe

Ingredients

Directions

A tangy, honey-sweetened frozen yoghurt with a thick, spoonable texture from strained Greek yoghurt’s natural protein. A little gelatin, while optional, gives the smooth, silky finish of a proper gelato.

Note: This recipe includes approximately 10 minutes of active time and 4 hours of chilling. The night before, freeze the ice cream container upright in the freezer at −18°C or below for 16 hours. Do not lay it on its side or freeze for more than 48 hours. This recipe relies on strained Greek yoghurt with at least 9 g protein per 100 g. The high protein content acts as a natural stabiliser and creates the creamy texture without gums or starches. Regular yoghurt or lower-protein “Greek-style” yoghurts will produce an icy result — don’t substitute.

Ingredients

180 g plain greek yoghurt (5% fat, minimum 9 g protein per 100 g — e.g. FAGE Total 5%)
75 g whipping cream
25 g honey
pinch of fine sea salt
½ tsp powdered gelatine (optional), measured with the provided Panasonic Tsp/Tbsp measure to the second line
20 g whole milk (for gelatin bloom)

Steps

1

If using gelatin: sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 20 g cold milk in a small bowl and let bloom for 5 minutes.

2

In a small saucepan, gently warm the whipping cream and honey together over low heat, whisking until the honey is fully dissolved (~2 minutes, do not boil). Alternatively, use a microwave for this step.

3

Whisk the bloomed gelatin (with its milk) into the cream-honey mixture until fully dissolved.

4

Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

5

In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yoghurt and the warm cream-honey mixture until fully combined and smooth. Add a pinch of salt if using, to bring out the flavours.

6

Chill the liquid frozen yoghurt base in the fridge until it reaches 6°C, a minimum of 4 hours to allow the gelatin to set fully. Alternatively, place in the freezer for approximately 1½ hours until it reaches 6°C.

7

Remove the ice cream container from the freezer.

8

Fit the stirring blade into the ice cream container, then lock the container into the machine base.

9

Select Menu 33 (Frozen Yoghurt) and press Start. Approx. 25 minutes.

10

Whisk the chilled frozen yoghurt base once more, then slowly pour it into the container with the machine running and close the lid.

11

When the buzzer sounds continuously, press Stop and rotate the container counterclockwise to remove it.

12

Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 hours for a firmer scoop. If the frozen yoghurt is too firm to scoop straight from the freezer, transfer to the fridge for 15 minutes (longer if needed) to soften slightly before scooping.

Enjoy
