Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (use plain or vanilla for flavor)

1 cup carrot puree (preferably freshly grated; canned is fine if well-drained)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for crunch)

1/2 cup raisins or sultanas (optional for sweetness)

1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional for added texture)

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: If using fresh carrots, peel and grate them finely. For a smoother texture, steam the grated carrots lightly for a few minutes, then allow them to cool completely before using. If using canned carrot puree, ensure it’s well-drained to avoid extra moisture.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, carrot puree, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well mixed and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness with more honey or syrup if desired.

      Add Texture: If you’re using them, gently fold in the chopped nuts, raisins, and shredded coconut into the yogurt mixture. These ingredients will provide delightful crunch and flavor variation to your frozen yogurt.

        Prepare the Cream Cheese Swirl: In a separate mixing bowl, take the softened cream cheese and add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to sweeten it slightly. Beat the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy.

          Layer the Mixtures: Grab a freezer-safe container and spoon half of the yogurt mixture into the bottom. Follow this layer with dollops of the cream cheese mixture to create a beautiful contrast. Repeat this process with the remaining yogurt and cream cheese mixtures. Use a knife or a spatula to gently swirl the two mixtures together, creating a marbled effect throughout the container.

            Freeze: Cover your container securely with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. If you prefer a softer, creamier texture, you can enjoy it after 2-3 hours of freezing.

              Serve: When you are ready to serve, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making scooping easier. Serve in bowls with optional toppings such as chopped nuts, additional coconut, or a drizzle of honey for an extra special treat.
