Peach Greek Frozen Yogurt

Peach Greek Frozen Yogurt is creamy, bright, and full of sweet summer flavor. It tastes like peach ice cream’s lighter, tangier cousin, but it still feels rich enough to enjoy by the scoop. Fresh or frozen peaches blend into a silky base with whole milk Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, and a little lemon juice for balance.

The best part is how simple it feels. Everything blends together in minutes, then freezes into a smooth, refreshing dessert that works beautifully for warm afternoons, easy entertaining, or a little homemade treat after dinner. For the creamiest texture, use ripe peaches and full-fat Greek yogurt. It makes all the difference, especially once frozen.

Recipe Yield: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

3 cups peeled sliced peaches, fresh or frozen thawed and drained
2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp fine salt
1/2 cup finely chopped peaches, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Blend the base:
Add peaches, Greek yogurt, honey, heavy cream, corn syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.

2. Chill the mixture:
Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until very cold.

3. Churn until creamy:
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s directions until thick and soft-serve style.

4. Add the peaches:
During the last 2 minutes of churning, add the finely chopped peaches, if using.

5. Freeze until scoopable:
Transfer the frozen yogurt to a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for 3 to 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

6. Serve and enjoy:
Let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping for the creamiest texture.

HELPFUL TIPS TO PERFECT THIS RECIPE

• Use whole milk Greek yogurt for the best texture: Low-fat yogurt can turn icy once frozen. Whole milk Greek yogurt gives this peach frozen yogurt a creamier, smoother finish.
• Make sure the base is very cold before churning: A well-chilled mixture freezes faster, which helps create a softer, creamier texture instead of large ice crystals.
• Taste before freezing: Peaches vary in sweetness. If your peaches are very tart, add 1 to 2 extra tbsp honey before churning.
• Let it soften before scooping: Homemade frozen yogurt freezes firmer than store-bought. A few minutes on the counter makes it easier to scoop and improves the texture.
• No ice cream maker: Pour the chilled mixture into a shallow metal pan and freeze for 30 minutes. Whisk or scrape it vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours to break up ice crystals. Stir in the chopped peaches during the final mixing, then freeze until scoopable. The texture will be slightly firmer than churned frozen yogurt, so let it soften for 10–15 minutes before serving.
