Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring an even flavor throughout.
- Churn Mixture: Transfer this smooth mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which usually takes about 20 to 25 minutes. The frozen yogurt should reach a soft-serve consistency.
- Add Peanut Butter Cups: During the last 2 minutes of churning, add the chopped mini peanut butter cups to mix them evenly into the frozen yogurt.
- Freeze to Firm: Once churning is complete, transfer the frozen yogurt into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Freeze for at least 2 hours so the dessert can firm up.
- Serve: Before serving, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop and enjoy.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes until the texture is creamy and frozen.
