Greek yogurt is like cheesecake to me: it's tart, sweet, thick, and creamy. The bonus is that yogurt is rich in probiotics and healthy fat. Drizzle in some honey, add some preserves or fruit, freeze, and serve. Consume in a bowl or a waffle cone for a healthy version of, what I consider, cheesecake ice cream. Or, use dairy-free yogurt.
I like to make this frozen treat with half yogurt and half crème fraîche, which is made from heavy cream instead of whole milk. You can use any ratio you prefer, or use only whole milk yogurt.
I've also updated my waffle cone recipe to make the cones crunchier. I've swapped out the 2 large eggs for 2 large egg whites.
For the berries, I like using a mixture of strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry, or whatever I have on hand. You can either mash them raw, or sauté them in a saucepan with some honey or maple syrup.
