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
Puree the Strawberries In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped strawberries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and silky.
Mix with Yogurt Transfer the strawberry puree to a mixing bowl. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until well combined and evenly pink.
Freeze Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or shallow freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
Set Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
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.
