Ingredients
12 ounces (about 2 1/2 cups) fresh blackberries
1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
2 cups full-fat plain yogurt
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
Kosher salt, to taste
1 lemon Freshly squeezed lemon juice from 1 lemon, to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
Directions
Place blackberries, yogurt, brown sugar, and ground clove in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform, about 30 seconds.
Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a mixing bowl. Using a ladle or spoon, gently press on the mixture to extract all the liquid and force the fruit through, leaving the seeds behind in the strainer. Stir in the lemon zest.
Taste the mixture. Add lemon juice and kosher salt in small increments (about 1/4 teaspoon at a time), stirring well and tasting after each addition, until the flavor achieves a pleasant balance between sweetness and tartness. Chill the mixture in an ice bath or cover and refrigerate until it reaches at least 40°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Transfer the chilled mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned frozen yogurt to an airtight container and place in the freezer for at least 4 to 5 hours, or until firm, before serving.
Comments
Every ingredient is available at any Charlotte grocer—blackberries are seasonal but frozen work fine year-round, and everything else is a staple. The cost is low, probably $3–4 total for two servings at $1.50–2 per serving, driven mainly by yogurt and berries. The stated 390 minutes (6.5 hours) is honest for a frozen dessert that needs chilling and churning time; this is accurate if you own an ice-cream maker, though a food processor method cuts it closer to 2 hours. The dish is simple, requires minimal active attention, and leftovers freeze well for a week, making it a genuine convenience for a light dessert. The only friction is that blackberries are most affordable June through August in the region; winter shopping means paying premium prices or settling for frozen fruit, which works but costs more.
