To achieve the perfect texture for your Carrot Cake FroYo Swirls Delight, proper freezing is crucial. After blending your mixture, transfer it to an airtight container. The optimal freezing time is about 4-6 hours. This duration allows the mixture to firm up without becoming too hard, which can make scooping difficult.

Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup carrot puree (freshly grated or canned)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

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

1/2 cup raisins or sultanas (optional)

1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: If using fresh carrots, peel and grate them. You can steam them lightly for a softer blend, then cool before using. If using canned carrot puree, ensure it’s drained well.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, carrot puree, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

      Add Texture: Gently fold in the nuts, raisins, and shredded coconut, if using. These add a nice crunch and variation to the frozen yogurt.

        Prepare Cream Cheese Swirl: In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. Beat until smooth and creamy.

          Layer the Mixtures: In a freezer-safe container, spoon half of the yogurt mixture, followed by dollops of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat with the remaining yogurt and cream cheese, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.

            Freeze: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until set. If you prefer a softer texture, enjoy after 2-3 hours.

              Serve: Once frozen, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before scooping. Serve with additional toppings if desired, such as chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey.
