\"Maple<\/p>\n

There was a time when I really tried to hate frozen yogurt.<\/p>\n

This, of course, had\u00c2\u00a0nothing<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0to do with the year or so I spent working at a frozen yogurt shop.<\/p>\n

Nothing at all.<\/p>\n

\"Maple<\/p>\n

I was just\u00c2\u00a0genuinely\u00c2\u00a0against its velvety texture, the balance of sweetness and yogurty tang, not to mention its health benefits over run-of-the-mill ice cream.<\/p>\n

Nope, it had nothing to do with me having to be polite to rude customers all day while making minimum wage + crap for tips.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cool. I\u2019m not bitter.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"dried<\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny how quickly you\u2019re able to appreciate something once you aren\u2019t constantly surrounded by it. I\u2019m all about the froyo these days.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ve been fixated on lavender lately, so after making a few cocktails I thought I\u2019d venture into freezer territory.<\/p>\n

There are already a number of delicious honey lavender ice cream concoctions out there (I\u2019m looking at you Bi-Rite), so I thought it would be interesting to play with a different kind of sweetness.<\/p>\n

\"dried<\/p>\n

As it turns out, rich maple syrup and floral lavender play oh so nicely together. I also added bourbon, both for flavor and its anti-freezing capabilities. When using a low-fat yogurt, the alcohol keeps it from becoming a block of ice after a few hours in the\u00c2\u00a0chill chest.<\/p>\n

\"Maple<\/p>\n

Also using low-fat yogurt means you can, you know, eat more. That\u2019s how that works.<\/p>\n

Maple Lavender Frozen Yogurt<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

I used 2% yogurt in the recipe – if you want to go full-fat, go right ahead! I wouldn’t recommend using non-fat; even with the help of the half & half and bourbon, it’s pretty impossible to scoop after freezing.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 3\/4 cup half & half <\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/2 teaspoons dried lavender (loosely packed) <\/li>\n
  • 2\/3 cup maple syrup <\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract <\/li>\n
  • 2 cups 2% greek yogurt <\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/2 tablespoons bourbon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Method<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. In a small pot, bring the half & half just to a simmer. Remove from the heat, stir in the lavender and steep for 5 minutes. Strain out the lavender, whisk in the maple syrup and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.<\/li>\n
    2. Whisk together the cooled maple syrup mixture with the yogurt, vanilla and bourbon. Chill the mixture until very cold, at least a couple of hours. Churn according to your ice cream maker’s directions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n

      Yields<\/h3>\n

      ~1 quart<\/p><\/div>\n

      I find that in my ice cream maker, frozen yogurt takes much less time to churn than ice cream. I over churned my first attempt – that was a sad day.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
