Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and whole milk until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring the peanut butter is fully incorporated without streaks.
- Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in the chopped mini peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the yogurt mixture.
- Churn Frozen Yogurt: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for 20 to 25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze for Firmness: Transfer the churned frozen yogurt into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2 to 3 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute with reduced-fat Greek yogurt.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for about 3 hours to break up ice crystals and achieve a creamy texture.
