Ingredients

• 3 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/8 tsp pinch of salt

Instructions

1. 1In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until mostly smooth with a few small berry pieces remaining for texture.
2. 2Pour the berry puree into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened and reduced by one-third. Cool completely to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator.
3. 3In a large bowl, whisk together plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, heavy cream, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt until completely smooth and the honey is dissolved.
4. 4Pour the yogurt base into a 9x5-inch loaf pan or shallow freezer-safe container. Dollop spoonfuls of the cooled berry puree over the surface.
5. 5Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the berry puree through the yogurt in figure-eight motions, creating distinct ribbons without fully mixing it in.
6. 6Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm but still scoopable.
7. 7If the frozen yogurt becomes rock-hard after overnight freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 8 to 10 minutes before scooping.
8. 8Scoop into bowls or cones. For extra color, spoon any remaining berry puree on top as a quick sauce.
9. 9Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 1 week; the texture stays creamiest within the first few days.
10. 10For a softer serve texture, you can churn the base in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer directions, adding the swirl in the last minute.
