FAQs
Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?
Frozen raspberries work best for this recipe because they help create that creamy, ice cream-like texture. If you use fresh raspberries, you may need to freeze them first to get the right consistency.
Can I make this without a food processor or blender?
You can make this by mashing the raspberries and mixing them with the yogurt by hand, but the texture may be less smooth. A blender or food processor helps achieve that creamy frozen yogurt texture.
How can I adjust the sweetness?
Taste the mixture as you go and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener until it reaches your desired level of sweetness.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare it in advance and freeze it for 1-2 hours for a firmer texture. Just remember to let it sit out for a few minutes before serving, as it will be quite hard right out of the freezer.
