Apricot ice cream with yogurt

You should definitely make your own creamy apricot ice cream with yogurt and fresh apricots if you’re as big an apricot fan as I am! Because this creamy, sweet ice cream simply tastes like summer and immediately puts you in a good mood.

Creamy, creamier, apricot ice cream with yogurt

Since I got the ice cream maker, I’ve been trying out wild ice cream recipes with all my favorite ingredients. That actually reads more extreme than it is. My Tahini ice cream or the nutty pistachio ice cream were my first creations and are also relatively simple. It’s similar with this apricot ice cream, but here I combine two of my favorite ingredients: Fresh, juicy-sweet apricots and super creamy Greek yogurt.

So those are two essential ingredients. So buy as many delicious apricots as you can.

And when it comes to yogurt, you can go for the fatty version, i.e. Greek yogurt with 10%. This makes the ice cream particularly creamy.

Of course, you will need a few more ingredients to make the ice cream. So here is a brief overview of the ingredients for apricot ice cream with yogurt (you will find the exact details below in the recipe card):

• Fresh eggs or egg yolks
• Sugar
• Whole milk
• Greek yogurt (10%)
• Fresh apricots
• Vanilla extract or a vanilla pod

You probably have most of the ingredients in the house or can get them quickly. Ideally, of course, you have an apricot tree and a cow in the garden – haha!

Make your own apricot ice cream with yogurt

If you have an ice cream maker at home, then summer is saved! Because you can treat yourself to a few delicious scoops of homemade ice cream every day. This apricot ice cream is really easy to make.

1. Cut the apricots into pieces.

2. Boil down the apricot pieces with the vanilla extract and sugar and then leave to cool.

3. Beat the egg yolks with a little sugar in a bowl until creamy and light.

4. Gently heat the milk with the remaining sugar in a pan until the sugar has dissolved and the milk mixture has become warm.

5. Place the egg yolk mixture on a bain-marie and stir in the milk mixture.

6. Heat the ice cream mixture over a medium heat while stirring, but do not boil. The mixture should only thicken a little.
7. Remove the ice cream mixture from the heat, leave to cool slightly and stir in the yogurt.

8. Allow the ice cream mixture to cool to room temperature and then pour directly into the ice cream maker.

9. When the ice cream is almost frozen, add the apricot mixture to the ice cream and stir in.

Tips & tricks for particularly tasty ice cream

• The ice cream has a very fluffy consistency when it comes out of the ice cream maker. Put it in the freezer for a few more hours, then you can form really nice scoops.
• If you take the ice cream fresh from the freezer, leave it to stand for a short time so that it is easier to shape and has the perfect temperature.
• Leave a little of the apricot mixture and use it to garnish your apricot ice cream.
• If you prefer a creamy yogurt ice cream with apricot swirl, add the apricot mixture to the ice cream later. To do this, pour some of the yogurt mixture into an ice cream container, add some of the apricot mixture on top and drag a wooden stick or fork through the mixture to create a marble effect. Repeat this process until there is no ice cream or apricot mixture left.

Now you know everything you need to know to make fruity, creamy apricot ice cream with yogurt. So what are you waiting for? Get into the ice cream kitchen and try out the recipe straight away!

I hope you enjoy it and, of course, bon appétit.
