Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Wash and peel ripe peaches, then carefully dice them into small, uniform cubes.
- Place the diced peaches in a blender or food processor and pulse until they become a smooth, consistent puree.
- Add plain yogurt to the peach puree, ensuring a thorough and even mixture.
- Pour honey into the mixture, stirring gently to incorporate and create a smooth, sweet base.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon and cayenne pepper into the mixture, whisking carefully to distribute the spices evenly.
- Transfer the yogurt mixture into a freezer-safe container, preferably with a lid.
- Cover the container and place in the freezer for approximately 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving to allow slight softening for easier scooping.
- Serve in chilled bowls, garnishing with fresh peach slices or a light dusting of additional cinnamon if desired.
Tips
- Choose ultra-ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor intensity.
- Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest possible puree.
- For an extra creamy texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of regular plain yogurt.
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to your personal spice tolerance - start with less and add more gradually.
- For a more intense freeze, pre-chill your mixing bowl and utensils.
- If you have an ice cream maker, use it for an even smoother, more professional result.
- Experiment with additional garnishes like toasted almond slivers or a drizzle of honey.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain the best texture and prevent freezer burn.
