Ingredients
2 cups plain 2% milk fat Greek yogurt
12 ounces frozen blueberries
½ cup granulated sugar
½ fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, frozen blueberries, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir occasionally as the mixture warms, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely, about 8–10 minutes.
As the blueberries soften, press them gently against the side of the pan with a spoon to release their juices and break them into smaller pieces, creating a compote texture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the blueberry mixture cool to room temperature, about 20–30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, gently fold the cooled blueberry compote into the Greek yogurt until just combined, leaving some streaks of blueberry sauce for visual appeal.
Transfer the blueberry-yogurt mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20–25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Serve immediately for soft-serve texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 60 minutes for a firmer scoop.
Comments
All ingredients are stocked year-round at any Charlotte grocer, with no special trips needed; blueberries are cheaper frozen than fresh in winter, and greek yogurt is a Harris Teeter or Kroger staple. Cost per serving lands around $2.50–$3.00 depending on yogurt quality, which is reasonable for a simple frozen dessert. The stated 135 minutes is honest for an ice-cream-maker method with chilling time, though it assumes you own the equipment; without a machine, you'd need 20 extra minutes of stirring every 30 minutes to reach that texture. This is a light, make-ahead dessert that reheats poorly—it's a same-night or next-day consumption dish—and works as a weeknight treat for two, though it won't feed a family or withstand neglect once churning begins.
