from "Gourmet" magazine of "ELEFTHEROTYPIA" newspaper (2010)

Ingredients (for 4-6 people):

400 gr. of Greek thick yoghurt (2% fat )

200 gr. of fresh whole fat milk

150 gr. of granulated sugar

50 gr. of honey (about 2 tbsp)

2 packets of petits-beurres biscuits (preferably wholemeal)

Method:

Important for this recipe: The yoghurt and the milk should be cold from the fridge. It is important the mixture for the ice cream yoghurt not to get warm because this will destroy the yoghurt.

Put the yoghurt and the milk in a large bowl and mix thoroughly until you have a homogeneous mixture.

Make the ice cream following your recipe as you always do, either in the ice cream-maker or directly in the freezer. Transfer into a container, smooth the top with a spatula, cover and put in the freezer. Allow to freeze for 4-6 hours before serving.

To assemble the sandwiches, take the ice cream out of the freezer and allow it to soften slightly. Then place on half of the biscuits a generous dollop of the mixture.

Cover with the rest of the biscuits and arrange on flat containers.

Cover with cling film and put back in the freezer to store, taking out as many as you need every time you want to serve.
