Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Put the frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt, maple syrup and lemon juice into a food processor or blender.

  2. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides, until smooth and thick like soft-serve.

  3. Taste and, if you like it sweeter, blend in a little more maple syrup, which is optional.

  4. Serve right away as soft-serve, or spoon into a covered container and freeze for about 2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
