Ingredients

• 1 large Korean pear (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 inch Fresh ginger (thinly sliced)
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 1 cup Water
• 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced Korean pear, honey, sliced ginger, cinnamon stick, and water.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the pear is soft and the liquid has reduced slightly.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat, discard the ginger slices and cinnamon stick, and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Once cooled, puree the pear mixture in a blender until smooth.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pear puree, plain Greek yogurt, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 7

Transfer the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the frozen yogurt reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 8

Transfer the churned frozen yogurt to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.

Step 9

Serve the Baesuk frozen yogurt garnished with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
