Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Using sweetened Greek yogurt: Sweetened yogurt can add unnecessary sugar and carbohydrates. Choose plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt.
2. Adding too much sweetener: Excess sweetener can overpower the natural berry flavor and may affect the texture.
3. Using watery yogurt: Thin yogurt can produce an icy frozen dessert instead of a creamy one.
4. Skipping the short thaw: Allowing the dessert to sit for a few minutes makes it easier to slice and improves the texture.
5. Leaving it uncovered: Properly covering the dessert helps prevent freezer burn and unwanted ice crystals.

• 2 tablespoons powdered monk-fruit/erythritol sweetener, or adjust to taste

Ingredient Notes

Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt rather than flavored yogurt to keep added sugar low.

Strawberries and raspberries are particularly useful for keeping the carbohydrate content moderate. Blueberries can also be included, although their carbohydrate content is somewhat higher per serving.

If using frozen berries, allow them to soften slightly before blending.

Directions

1. Prepare the berries.
   If using frozen berries, let them sit at room temperature for approximately 5–10 minutes until slightly softened.
2. Blend the berries.
   Add the berries to a blender or food processor and pulse for 20–30 seconds. Blend until mostly smooth while leaving a few small pieces if you want extra texture.
3. Add the Greek yogurt.
   Add the unsweetened Greek yogurt and powdered monk-fruit/erythritol sweetener.
4. Blend until creamy.
   Process for approximately 30–60 seconds until the mixture is smooth, thick, and evenly combined.
5. Taste the mixture.
   Taste before freezing. Add a small amount of additional sweetener if needed, remembering that sweetness can seem slightly reduced once frozen.
6. Prepare the dish.
   Line an 8 × 8-inch freezer-safe dish with parchment paper, leaving some paper over the sides to make removal easier.
7. Spread evenly.
   Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared dish and spread it into an even layer approximately ¾–1 inch thick.
8. Add a berry swirl.
   If desired, lightly crush a few additional berries from the mixture and swirl them across the surface.
9. Cover tightly.
   Cover the dish with a freezer-safe lid or tightly sealed freezer wrap.
10. Freeze.
    Place in the freezer for 4–6 hours, or until completely firm.
11. Soften before serving.
    Remove from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for approximately 5–10 minutes.
12. Slice and serve.
    Cut into 8 equal portions and serve immediately.

High-Protein Cooking Tip

Choose a thick, strained Greek yogurt with a high protein content and no added sugar. This increases the protein contribution while keeping the recipe simple and suitable for a protein-conscious eating pattern.

• For a berry swirl: Reserve a few mashed berries and swirl them over the top before freezing.
• Allergy note: Contains dairy. Check the Greek yogurt label for any additional allergens.

• Storage: Keep tightly covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for the best texture and flavor.
