Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Puree: In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries and 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the mixture briefly before removing it from the blender. Set aside.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, remaining honey or maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.

      Swirl the Mixtures: In a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container, drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture and raspberry puree in alternating layers. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the mixtures together, creating a marbled effect. Avoid over-mixing to keep the beautiful swirls visible.

        Freeze: Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow the frozen yogurt to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until set.

          Scoop and Serve: When ready to serve, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Serve in bowls or cones, topped with fresh mint leaves if desired.
