Ingredients

200 g blueberries - 1
½ lime - juice & zest
1 tbsp honey - 2
280 g Greek style natural yoghurt - 3

Optional

¼ cup milk kefir - 4

Instructions

Prep the fruit – If using frozen blueberries allow to partially defrost in the Ninja Creami tub.
Add the honey, lime zest and juice
Give it all a mash with a fork to burst the blueberries.
200 g blueberries, ½ lime - juice & zest, 1 tbsp honey
Add the yoghurt up to the max fill line. Use a spatula to mix the blueberry mixture and yoghurt together so all the fruit are completely surrounded by the yoghurt.
You do not need to blend as the yoghurt is thick enough to stop the blueberries sinking to the bottom.
Freeze until solid; this can take overnight or up to 24 hours depending on your freezer.
280 g Greek style natural yoghurt
Check for humps - If the mixture has developed a hump or bump in the middle scrape with a spoon so it is flat.
* Freezing with the lid off can help to stop humps forming. Different recipes and freezers can different sized humps to form. If your mixture always forms a large hump as it freezes give it a stir after the first hour in the freezer.
Do not spin a mixture that has a large hump, without flattening it first. You may damage your machine.
Process - Put the container in the machine and spin – with the regular Creami (the NC300) I have found that the light ice cream cycle gives the best results.
Respin if needed.

Notes

Blueberries - I usually buy bags of frozen blueberries as they are generally better quality and cheaper than fresh.
Honey - optional but adds some sweetness, flavour and improves the texture of the final froyo. You could also use maple syrup or golden syrup.
Yoghurt – For the best results use a thick creamy Greek style natural yoghurt. I prefer full fat.
Optional - substitute up to 1/4 of a cup of the yoghurt with milk kefir.

Hints and Tips

This recipe is for the regular NC300 Ninja Creami, with (American) pint pots. For the Deluxe model use 1.5X the ingredients.
Make sure the mixture is completely frozen before processing.
If you add some blueberries as additions using the mix-in function, then any re-spinning of the froyo will blend them completely.
Smooth the surface of any leftover froyo before returning to the freezer.
To enjoy a half empty pot: either just let it thaw slightly or process again with the light ice cream function. You must not the re-spin function on a solid mixture. Or, you can add about 2 teaspoons vegetable, food grade glycerine into the mixture so it is scoopable from the freezer. Experiment to perfect quantities.
