Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 ripe kiwis, peeled and diced

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

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to your desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice (to brighten the flavors)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional but recommended)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Puree: In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of honey and the lemon juice. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Transfer the strawberry puree into a bowl and set aside. Rinse the blender thoroughly to avoid mixing flavors.

    Create the Kiwi Puree: Place the diced kiwis in the now-clean blender along with the remaining honey. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Once done, pour the kiwi puree into a separate bowl.

      Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the vanilla extract. Stir the two together until they are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

        Layer the Swirls: Take a freezer-safe container and start layering your mixtures. First, spoon a layer of the Greek yogurt mixture into the bottom of the container. Next, add a generous layer of the strawberry puree on top, followed by a layer of kiwi puree. Repeat this layering process until all ingredients are used up, ensuring the top layer is yogurt for a nice finish.

          Achieve the Swirl Effect: Using a knife or a skewer, gently swirl through the layers to create a marbled effect. Take care not to overmix; you want to create beautiful swirls without destroying the distinct layers.

            Freeze to Perfection: Cover the container securely with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Place the container in the freezer and allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until it is solid.

              Serve with a Refreshing Touch: Once the yogurt swirl is fully frozen, take it out of the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature to soften slightly for easier scooping. Serve in bowls or cones, and garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves if you like.
