Strawberry Greek Frozen Yogurt – Healthy & Creamy Dessert
Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Puree the Strawberries
    In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped strawberries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and silky.

  2. Mix with Yogurt
    Transfer the strawberry puree to a mixing bowl. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until well combined and evenly pink.

  3. Freeze
    Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or shallow freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.

  4. Set
    Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm enough to scoop.

  5. Serve
    Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with extra chopped strawberries or a sprig of mint, if desired.

Pro Tips

  • For an extra smooth texture, strain the strawberry puree through a fine sieve before mixing with yogurt.

  • Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best natural flavor—frozen berries can work in a pinch.

  • Stir the mixture once or twice during freezing for a creamier consistency.

  • Substitute honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter treat.

  • To avoid freezer burn, ensure your container is well sealed.

Ingredient Swaps & Variations

  • Swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or a mixed berry blend.

  • Add a handful of chopped fresh mint or basil for an herbal twist.

  • Mix in dark chocolate chips or crushed nuts before freezing for texture.

  • Use flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla or honey for more depth.

  • For a dairy-free version, try coconut or almond yogurt instead.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve in chilled bowls with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey.

  • Pair with crisp summer salads or grilled chicken for a balanced meal.

  • Add granola or toasted coconut flakes as crunchy toppings.

  • Present in popsicle molds for easy frozen yogurt pops.

Make Ahead + Storage Tips

  • Freeze for up to 1 week for best flavor and texture.

  • Thaw for 5–10 minutes at room temperature before scooping.

  • Stir halfway through freezing for creamier results (optional).

  • Use airtight containers to keep the yogurt fresh and prevent ice crystals.
