Ingredients

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup salted caramel sauce
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of sea salt
• Optional toppings: chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or fresh fruit

Cooking Method

1. Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

2. Add the Caramel Sauce: Gently fold in the salted caramel sauce, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the yogurt base. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the caramel flavor.

3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to ensure it’s well-chilled before freezing.

4. 

   Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container, cover it, and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

5. Serve: Scoop the frozen yogurt into bowls or cones and garnish with your choice of toppings, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or fresh fruit.

Moderation is key to enjoying this tasty dessert without overindulging.

Best Pairings

Pairing Salted Caramel Frozen Yogurt with complementary dishes and drinks can elevate your dessert experience:

• Side Dishes or Salads: A fresh fruit salad featuring berries and melon can complement the yogurt’s tangy and sweet flavors. Alternatively, a light citrusy salad with a honey-lime dressing adds a refreshing contrast.

• Drinks: For a non-alcoholic option, consider pairing with a refreshing iced herbal tea or a sparkling water infused with lemon or mint. For adults, a glass of chilled Moscato or a sweet Riesling wine can enhance the caramel notes beautifully.

Enjoy your Salted Caramel Frozen Yogurt on a warm day or as a delightful ending to a hearty meal, and relish the perfect harmony of creamy, salty, and sweet flavors.
