Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cool running water, removing any stems or leaves.
- Pat the strawberries dry with clean paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops using a small paring knife or strawberry huller.
- Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters to help them blend more easily.
- Place the sliced strawberries into a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Add the plain Greek yogurt to the food processor, ensuring it's full-fat for a creamier texture.
- Drizzle honey over the strawberries and yogurt for natural sweetness.
- Add vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the frozen yogurt.
- Blend all ingredients until smooth and completely combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container or loaf pan.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to maintain a creamy consistency.
- Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Scoop into serving bowls and garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired.
Tips
- Choose ripe, in-season strawberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt to ensure a rich, creamy texture that prevents ice crystals from forming.
- For extra smoothness, freeze your strawberries slightly before blending to create a more gelato-like consistency.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, adjust the honey to taste or use a natural sweetener like stevia.
- For best results, use a high-powered blender or food processor to achieve a perfectly smooth mixture.
- Stir the frozen yogurt every 30 minutes during freezing to break up ice crystals and maintain a creamy texture.
- Let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly and improve scoopability.
- Experiment with additional mix-ins like chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for variety.
