Blackberry Frozen Yogurt – a healthy way to enjoy a frozen dessert, sweetened with blackberries and honey
Juicy, plump, summer blackberries are the star of this delicious dessert!
You won’t believe how much flavor is in a scoop of this healthy ‘nice-cream’. With just 4 ingredients, the blackberries really shine. Be sure you use good quality ingredients as they will make all the difference in this recipe. Juicy berries, flavorful honey and smooth creamy yogurt are a must! However, feel free to substitute blueberries, raspberries or even strawberries if you prefer, but this gorgeous blackberry color is part of the fun!
Blackberries are a good source of Vitamin E, C, K and dietary fiber, plain Greek yogurt is packed with protein, and honey is a great all-natural sweetener.

Blackberry Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients
- 32 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 12 ounces fresh blackberries rinsed
- 1 cup honey more or less to taste
- a drop or two of pure vanilla extract if desired
Instructions
- Place the blackberries in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Strain the blackberries through a fine mesh sieve set over a large mixing bowl. Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture against the sieve to extract all the juice. Discard the seeds and any pulp.
- Add the yogurt to the blackberry juice and stir to combine. Add about 3/4 cup of honey and taste for sweetness. You may need more honey depending on how sweet the blackberries are. I used just under 1 cup. Add vanilla if desired and blend until smooth.
- Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions. Serve immediately if you prefer a soft serve consistency or freeze until firm. If frozen remove from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

Yummy! Making this on a warm day in winter (it’s 60 degrees in Denver!) makes me ready for light spring and summer desserts!
Tricia Buice
Thank you Brooke! I remember those odd warm days in Denver. I lived there a long time ago but will never forget my first spring. It snowed in early May, then the temperatures climbed to over 80 degrees the next day. We sat out in the sun in our lawn chairs, in the snow! Crazy weather for sure. Thanks for trying this easy treat. Ice cream is a year round favorite in our house!

Welcome back Tricia! I've missed you so much! This ice cream looks incredible, and I can't believe you can get that result using yogurt. I can't wait to try, so far this summer I've been going hog wild with the heavy cream in my machine. The color is to die for, and I'm pinning it right now.<br />Congratulations on your beautiful family.

The bridesmaids' dresses and this luscious frozen yogurt almost match! 🙂 Purple is such a rich vibrant color. It's my daughter's favorite too. Everything is beautiful about this post; the wedding photos, the couple,the smiles, adorable Issac.

I was thinking that was a long hiatus for the wedding! Glad to see your post. The wedding looks wonderful – I hope you did the mother/daughter dance? Your grandson sure is a cutie too.<br />And I hear you on baking and that pesky waistline. I know sometimes sharing isn't always possible but I find it's also wise to make small portions, divide recipes in half. I also find I'm

Delish! I used So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Yogurt as a dairy free option – 3 24oz containers! It was the perfect amount, with the blackberries, for my old fashioned ice cream maker. I used about 2 parts honey to 1 part maple syrup to sweeten ( didn’t measure quantity used). And I ‘double checked’ the vanilla amount AFTER dumping a whole TBSP in! Oops! It didn’t affect the final product as far as I could tell. I had no idea where to start with making ‘ice cream’ and your recipe gave me a great base to make my dairy free version! Thanks!
Tricia Buice
Thanks for the feedback Michelle! I love that you used coconut yogurt and bet it was delicious. Enjoy 🙂
