Ingredients
1 2/3 cups whole milk plain Greek yogurt
1 cup unsalted roasted pistachios
3 tablespoons honey, or to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon tahini, or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pistachios, or to taste
Instructions
Combine Greek yogurt, unsalted roasted pistachios, honey, lemon juice, tahini, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt in a blender. Blend until perfectly smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust flavorings like honey or tahini if desired. Blend again to incorporate.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and cover it.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Note that this frozen yogurt will freeze solid over time.
If it becomes too firm, let the container sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften before serving.
Sprinkle with chopped pistachios just before serving.
Notes
Chill Your Bowl: If using a freeze-bowl style ice cream maker, make sure the bowl is frozen solid for at least 12-24 hours before you start. This guarantees the proper freezing environment.
Don’t Over-Churn: Stop churning when the mixture reaches a thick, soft-serve consistency. Over-churning can sometimes lead to a less creamy texture once fully frozen.
Soften for Scooping: Before serving, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes. This makes it easier to scoop and improves its creamy texture.
Storage Savvy: Always store your frozen yogurt in an airtight container. Pressing parchment paper directly onto the surface before sealing helps maintain that smooth, creamy texture by minimizing ice crystal formation.
