Enjoy a refreshing and healthy dessert with this homemade frozen yogurt (or fro-yo) recipe. Requiring just a few ingredients, it is a popular alternative to traditional ice cream, offering a lighter option that still satisfies a sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup of honey or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: In a blender or food processor, blend the strawberries until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse until you reach your desired consistency.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the blender with the strawberry purée. Blend until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Chill the Mixture: Pour the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will ensure the flavors meld together nicely.
- Freeze the Yogurt: Transfer the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes). If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve: Scoop the frozen yogurt into bowls and enjoy immediately, or store in the freezer for later.
