Do I have to Use Greek Yogurt?
Greek yogurt is different than regular yogurt. How?
This style of yogurt has most of the water removed from it. It is strained 3 times!
This produces a thicker, less watery yogurt…which is perfect for ice cream!
Ice cream relies on fat content for its creaminess – so the less water the better.
Can you use a different style of yogurt?
Yes. But it won’t be as creamy. It will end up more icy.
Serving Tip
Serve this ice cream with your favorite toppings – fruit, chocolate, or sauces.
