- 100 ml of honey or to taste
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Directions

- In a blender or using a stick blender, combine the thawed berries, Greek yogurt, honey and vanilla extract. Mix until you get a smooth mixture. Adjust the amount of honey according to your desired sweetness.
- If necessary, add more honey or vanilla extract if you want the ice cream sweeter or more aromatic.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer container. Cover the container and place it in the freezer.
- Stir the mixture with a fork every hour to prevent ice crystals from forming and to keep the ice cream creamy. Repeat for 3-4 hours until the ice cream reaches the desired thickness. Take the ice cream out of the freezer a few minutes before serving to soften it a bit. Serve in bowls or cones.
- If desired, the ice cream can be enriched with fresh fruit, chocolate toppings, nuts or granola for additional texture and taste.
