Homemade Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
Description
This recipe combines frozen strawberries with yogurt and honey, blended at high speed to break down the fruit and incorporate air, producing a creamy frozen yogurt texture. The method relies on using a powerful blender with a tamper to ensure even blending of frozen berries without over-processing. The honey provides gentle sweetness complementing the natural tartness of the strawberries, while yogurt introduces creaminess and a subtle tang.
The frozen yogurt can be served right after blending as a soft scoop dessert or stored in the freezer to firm up further. It's a simple way to enjoy a fruit-based treat that is customizable by swapping in other frozen fruits for varied flavors. It works well as a light dessert or snack during warmer weather.
Care should be taken not to over-blend as this can soften the frozen yogurt too much. The recipe note highlights a particular blender model used to achieve optimal results but alternatives should work similarly.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yogurt dairy or dairy-free
- 1 pound strawberry frozen
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Add the yogurt, honey and strawberries to your Vitamix blender (in that order).
- Turn the blender on high and use the tamper to push the frozen strawberries into the blades. In 30 seconds you'll have frozen yogurt.
- Scoop out the frozen yogurt and serve immediately or transfer to a storage container and freeze.
Notes
- Avoid blending too long to prevent the frozen yogurt from becoming overly soft and losing its texture.
- Switch frozen fruits such as mango for variety and personalized flavor preferences.
- Use a high-powered blender like the Vitamix Ascent A3500 model to achieve smooth consistency, though other blenders may suffice.
