Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh raspberries (or use frozen raspberries, thawed)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste for sweetness)

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Puree: In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. For a more textured puree, pulse the mixture a few times to retain some raspberry chunks. Once blended, set the raspberry puree aside.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, the remaining honey or maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture with a whisk or spoon until it becomes smooth and well-integrated.

      Create the Swirl Effect: In a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container, alternate spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture and raspberry puree to create layers. Using a butter knife or a skewer, carefully swirl the mixtures together, creating a marbled effect. Take care not to over-mix, as you want the lovely swirls to remain visible.

        Freeze Until Set: Cover the container securely with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the freezer. Allow the frozen yogurt to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until it is solid and fully set.

          Scoop and Serve: Once you're ready to enjoy your frozen yogurt, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Serve the delicious swirls in bowls or cones, and feel free to garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
