Strawberry Frozen Yogurt (No Machine)
Description
The recipe calls for frozen strawberries combined with plain yogurt (Greek or otherwise), a natural sweetener such as honey or agave nectar, and lemon juice to amplify freshness. Blending these ingredients until completely smooth creates a creamy base. Freezing the mixture for at least six hours, preferably overnight, allows it to set firmly while maintaining a scoopable consistency due to the natural sugars and fat in yogurt and honey.
The strawberry flavor is dominant and fresh, enhanced by the citrus brightness from lemon juice. The texture is creamy rather than icy, benefited by using full-fat yogurt if possible. Using Greek yogurt adds protein and thickness but any plain yogurt works. The recipe accommodates dairy-free diets by substituting non-dairy yogurt.
This frozen yogurt is convenient for making out of season, since frozen fruit retains peak flavor. It stores well frozen for up to two weeks. It serves as a cool, fruity dessert or snack that is lighter than traditional ice cream, and can be adjusted in sweetness to preference.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (10 oz/284 g) strawberry frozen
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
- ¼ cup PLAIN yogurt Greek, non-fat or full fat, 2 oz/57 g
- 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice fresh
Notes
- Frozen berries are preferred out of season for best flavor and texture; fresh strawberries can be used but may require longer freezing.
- Greek yogurt offers creaminess and higher protein, though regular plain yogurt works too.
- Use full-fat yogurt for creamiest results; lower fat options will still work but may be less rich.
- The honey or agave nectar helps keep the frozen yogurt soft and adds mild sweetness.
- Non-dairy yogurts can substitute for a dairy-free frozen yogurt version.
- Freeze the blended mixture at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, for best texture.
