Blackberry Chip Frozen Yogurt
Blackberry Chip Frozen Yogurt
6 ounces blackberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons water
2 cups plain Greek yogurt (I prefer Fage for flavor, and although I usually eat the non-fat, I used whole for this recipe for a creamier texture)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon vodka
4 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (or chocolate chips)
In a medium saucepan combine the blackberries, sugar, cinnamon and water. Simmer over medium low heat until juicy and the berries have softened; mash with a potato masher to release all the juice. Pour into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Strain through a mesh strainer to remove and discard the seeds.
Whisk the blackberry puree, yogurt, vanilla and vodka together; cover and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight, until well chilled.
Freeze mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then fold in the chopped chocolate; transfer to a container and freeze until firm, about 4-6 hours.
Yields about 1 quart.
