Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
Gather all your ingredients and ensure they are measured accurately.

2. Mix Yogurt and Maple Syrup:
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and maple syrup. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.

3. Add Cinnamon:
Add the ground cinnamon to the yogurt and maple syrup mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed.

4. Incorporate Sour Cream:
Add the light sour cream to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.

5. Chill Mixture:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

6. Freeze the Mixture:
After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow your ice cream maker's instructions to churn the mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Place the container in the freezer and stir the mixture every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until it reaches your desired consistency (about 2-3 hours).

7. Final Freeze:
Transfer the churned mixture to an airtight container. Place the container in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until it is firm.

8. Serve:
Scoop the frozen yogurt into bowls or cones. Optionally, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top or drizzle with additional maple syrup for added flavor.

9. Store:
Keep any leftover frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture, consume within a week.
