Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe peaches, chopped
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry fresh peaches, then remove the pits and chop them into small, uniform pieces.
- Place the chopped peaches in a food processor or high-powered blender, ensuring they are at room temperature for optimal blending.
- Add Greek yogurt to the peaches, ensuring the yogurt is cold and thick for a creamy texture.
- Measure and add brown sugar, stirring gently to help it dissolve and integrate with the fruit and yogurt.
- Drizzle balsamic vinegar into the mixture, which will enhance the peach's natural sweetness and add a complex, tangy undertone.
- Blend all ingredients until smooth and completely combined, scraping down the sides of the blender to ensure no chunks remain.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the freezer for approximately 2-3 hours.
- Remove from freezer and stir the mixture every 30-45 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming, ensuring a creamy consistency.
- When the frozen yogurt reaches a soft-serve consistency, serve immediately in chilled bowls.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh peach slices, a drizzle of balsamic reduction, or a sprinkle of brown sugar before serving.
Tips
- Choose Peak-Ripeness Peaches: The secret to an incredible frozen yogurt is using perfectly ripe, sweet peaches. Look for fruits that are soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma.
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your peaches are at room temperature when blending for maximum flavor extraction, but keep your yogurt cold for the best creamy texture.
- Blending Technique: Scrape down the sides of your blender multiple times to ensure a completely smooth consistency with no peach chunks.
- Freezing Hack: To prevent ice crystals, stir the mixture every 30-45 minutes during the freezing process. This creates a smoother, more professional-looking dessert.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a light drizzle of balsamic reduction or some fresh peach slices just before serving.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: This dessert can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer for up to a week, making it perfect for unexpected guests or meal prep.
