Simply stir 1 1/4 cups puréed summer fruit (berries, peaches, etc.) into the mixture along with the yogurt, or fold in sliced peaches, strawberries, apricots, or nectarines once you’ve made the ice cream. Sweetened condensed milk and Greek yogurt keep the mixture creamy without using eggs or heavy cream.
