Ingredients
Scale
Infused Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender
- ½ tsp dried hibiscus petals (optional, for natural purple-pink tint)
Frozen Yogurt Base
- 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup honey (or more to taste)
- 1–2 drops purple food coloring (optional, for more vivid color)
Instructions
- Infuse the Cream with Lavender + Hibiscus: In a small saucepan, warm 1 cup heavy cream over low heat without letting it boil. Add 1 tablespoon dried lavender and ½ teaspoon hibiscus petals, and stir gently. Allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes to infuse the cream with floral flavors and a subtle color.
- Strain the Lavender: Pour the infused cream through a fine mesh strainer into a mixing bowl, discarding the flowers. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and cool completely to prepare it for blending.
- Blend the Frozen Yogurt Base: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the cooled infused cream, 1½ cups Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup honey, and 1–2 drops of purple food coloring if desired. Blend or whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored, ensuring a creamy and consistent base.
- Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth out the top, and cover it securely. Freeze the mixture for at least 4 hours or until it achieves a firm but scoopable texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the frozen yogurt into bowls, drizzle with extra honey for added sweetness, and sprinkle a few dried lavender buds on top as a pretty and aromatic garnish.
Notes
- For a more vivid purple color, use food-grade purple coloring sparingly as it does not affect flavor.
- Hibiscus petals are optional and used primarily for adding a gentle purple-pink tint to the cream.
- Ensure the cream is not boiled to preserve the delicate floral flavors.
- Frozen yogurt can be stored covered in the freezer for up to one week. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature before serving for easier scooping.
- Adjust honey to taste for desired sweetness.
