Ingredients
- 500g full-fat Greek yoghurt (well chilled)
- 250ml thickened cream or pure cream
- 120g caster sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp runny honey (optional, for added smoothness)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 80ml elderflower cordial
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornflour (optional, for a slightly thickened syrup)
- 1 tsp water (to dissolve cornflour)
Preparation
- To prepare the frozen yoghurt mixture, add to a mixing bowl yoghurt, cream, sugar, honey, vanilla and a pinch of salt and whisk until smooth and sugar has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is thoroughly chilled. The colder it is, the creamier the churn.
- Insert the bowl and ice cream paddle Cuisinart Ice Cream & Gelato Maker, set the timer to 50 minutes, pour the chilled mixture into the bowl and start churning until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- For a firmer texture, and for cone scoops, transfer to a freezer-safe container, smooth the surface, press baking paper over the top, and freeze for 2–3 hours.
- In a small saucepan, combine elderflower cordial and lemon juice. If using cornflour, dissolve it in 1 teaspoon of water and stir into the pan.
- Simmer gently over low heat for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened (or simply warmed and syrupy if not using cornflour).
- Allow to cool completely before drizzling over ice cream.
- Garnish with fresh berries, edible blossoms or a hint of lemon zest for a bright finish.
- For extra smooth texture, strain the yoghurt mixture through a fine sieve before chilling.
- Want it tangier? Add an extra spoon of Greek yoghurt just before churning.
- Love floral notes? A splash more elderflower cordial can be swirled gently through the churned yoghurt before freezing.
