Ingredients
- 4 whole Ripe peaches
- 2 cups Low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the ripe peaches into small pieces. Reserve a few slices for garnish if desired.
Step 2
Place the chopped peaches in a blender and add the low-fat yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and unsweetened almond milk.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Depending on the power of your blender, this may take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Once blended, pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the chia seeds. The chia seeds will add a delicate crunch and boost the nutritional value.
Step 5
Pour the peach mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap.
Step 6
Place the container in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, take it out and use a fork to stir the mixture, scraping the frozen edges towards the center. This helps to maintain a smooth and creamy texture.
Step 7
Continue this process for about 3 hours or until the ice cream is set and fully frozen.
Step 8
Once the ice cream has reached your desired consistency, scoop it into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with reserved peach slices if desired.
