Fresh Raspberry Frozen Greek Gogurt
Today I made fresh raspberry frozen greek yogurt. It is soooo simple.! Take a small carton (maybe 1/4 pint) of fresh raspberries and put them in the food processor with about 3/4 cup sugar. You can use splenda if you would rather but I don't have that measurement. Whirl those together until pureed. Then put about 3 cups of non-fat greek yogurt. ( You won't believe how creamy something non-fat can be!) Put this in with the raspberry mixture and whirl it all together (love that word whirl!) . Taste to see if it is sweet enough for you. There is always a little tanginess with greek yogurt. Then put it all in the Cuisinart ice cream maker and turn it on! In about 10 minutes you will have a luscious treat!!! Enjoy!!
