Ingredients
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
5 graham crackers, crushed
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
32 ounces plain 2% low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon vodka
Directions
Prepare ahead: Place your ice cream maker bowl in the freezer at least 24 hours before churning. To strain the yogurt, line a fine-mesh strainer or colander with paper towels and set it over a medium bowl. Scoop the Greek yogurt into the lined strainer, cover the top with another layer of paper towels, and refrigerate overnight. This concentrated yogurt will yield a creamier frozen treat. Discard the whey that collects in the bowl below.
Make the blueberry swirl syrup the day before, or at least several hours ahead. Combine the fresh or frozen blueberries, granulated sugar, and fresh lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 10 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick and syrupy. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until completely cooled, at least 2 hours or overnight, so the syrup is cold before mixing into the frozen yogurt.
The next day, remove the strained yogurt from the refrigerator. In a clean bowl, gently fold together the thick, concentrated yogurt with the vodka and remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice (if not already used in the syrup step). Mix until well combined and smooth.
Pour the yogurt mixture into your chilled ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20–30 minutes, until the mixture reaches soft-serve consistency. Gently fold the cooled blueberry swirl and crushed graham cracker pieces into the churned frozen yogurt. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Serve topped with additional graham cracker crumbs.
