Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the mangoes by peeling and dicing them into small, uniform cubes. Ensure the mangoes are ripe and sweet for the best flavor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, and honey. Whisk the ingredients together until they are smooth and well incorporated.
- Add the diced mango to the yogurt mixture and gently fold them in, ensuring the mango pieces are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded coconut into the mixture, reserving a small amount for garnishing. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming and to maintain a creamy texture.
- Before serving, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Scoop the frozen yogurt into serving bowls and garnish with the reserved shredded coconut.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing tropical flavors.
Tips
- Choose Perfectly Ripe Mangoes: The secret to an amazing frozen yogurt is using mangoes at their peak ripeness. Look for fruits that give slightly when pressed and have a sweet, fragrant aroma.
- Prevent Ice Crystals: Stirring the mixture every 30 minutes during freezing is crucial. This breaks up ice formations and ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Softening Technique: Always let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving. This makes scooping easier and improves the overall texture.
- Customize Your Garnish: While shredded coconut is delicious, feel free to add extra toppings like fresh mango chunks, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
- Storage Tip: If not serving immediately, cover the container tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and maintain the best flavor and texture.
