Ingredients:

  • 2 cups non-fat plain Greek yogurt (or fat-free Greek yogurt)
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (like Stevia, Erythritol, or Monk Fruit, to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond extract for a different flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, but helps balance the sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-calorie milk alternative)
  • Optional flavor add-ins:
    • 1/4 cup cocoa powder for chocolate flavor
    • 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
    • 1/4 cup berries (blueberries, strawberries, etc.)
    • 1/4 cup peanut butter (make sure it’s unsweetened and low-fat for 0 points)

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract, salt (if using), and almond milk.
    • Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sweetener, if needed.
  2. Flavor Add-ins (Optional):
    • If you want to add flavor variations like cocoa powder, chocolate chips, berries, or peanut butter, gently fold them into the yogurt mixture now. Ensure that the mix-ins are evenly distributed.
  3. Freeze the Mixture:
    • Pour the yogurt mixture into a shallow dish or a freezer-safe container. The more surface area it has, the faster it will freeze and the creamier it will become.
    • Cover and place the dish in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours to set. If you want a smooth, scoopable consistency, you can stir the mixture every 30 minutes during the first hour of freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming. This step is optional but will make your ice cream smoother.
  4. Serve:
    • Once the ice cream has set, remove it from the freezer. Let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop and serve.
    • You can top it with fresh fruit, a drizzle of sugar-free syrup, or additional chocolate chips if desired.

Tips for Success:

  • Consistency: Since this ice cream is made with Greek yogurt and no added fats or sugars, it may freeze a bit harder than regular ice cream. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a creamier texture.
  • Flavor Variations: You can experiment with different extracts (e.g., peppermint, coconut) or even mix in some crushed nuts (just keep in mind the added points for nuts).
  • Sugar-Free: Ensure that any add-ins like chocolate chips or peanut butter are sugar-free or low-calorie to keep the ice cream at 0 points.

WW Points (Estimated):

This recipe is 0 points per serving (for a typical serving size of about 1/2 cup) if you’re using sugar substitutes and non-fat Greek yogurt. The exact point count may vary based on the specific brands or any additional ingredients you add, so it’s always good to double-check on your WW app if using different ingredients.
