Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 cup (237 ml) Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup
Additional Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Prepare fresh strawberries by washing and removing stems, ensuring they are clean and ready for processing.
- Transfer strawberries into a high-powered blender, creating a smooth foundation for the frozen yogurt mixture.
- Add creamy Greek yogurt to the blender, which will provide a rich and tangy base for the dessert.
- Drizzle pure honey into the blender, introducing natural sweetness that complements the strawberries’ flavor.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice to enhance the brightness and prevent potential browning of the fruit.
- Pulse the ingredients until a velvety, uniform consistency develops, with no visible strawberry chunks remaining.
- For bite-sized treats, carefully transfer the mixture into a piping bag or use a spoon to create small, uniform rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Alternatively, pour the mixture into silicone muffin cups or an ice cube tray for more structured portions.
- Place the prepared tray or molds into the freezer, allowing the treats to solidify for approximately 2-3 hours.
- For a softer texture, remove the frozen yogurt treats from the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving.
- If preferring a soft-serve style, serve the blended mixture immediately after mixing for a lighter, creamier experience.
- Store any remaining treats in an airtight container in the freezer for future enjoyment.
Notes
- Select ripe, sweet strawberries for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness in your frozen yogurt treats.
- Use Greek yogurt for extra protein and a thicker, creamier consistency that holds its shape better when frozen.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or agave for different dietary needs or taste preferences.
- Customize the treats by adding mix-ins like chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of fresh mint for extra texture and flavor complexity.
