Description
A light, tangy, and wonderfully creamy frozen treat that highlights the bright flavor of fresh strawberries. Made with protein-rich Greek yogurt and just a touch of lemon and vanilla, this easy no-churn dessert is perfect for hot days or whenever you need a sweet, yet wholesome, pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (reserve a few for garnish)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1️⃣ Puree the strawberries. In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped strawberries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and vibrant pink.
2️⃣ Mix with yogurt. Transfer the strawberry puree to a mixing bowl. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until the mixture is completely uniform in color and texture.
3️⃣ Freeze. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or shallow, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
4️⃣ Firm up. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt is solid enough to scoop. (For a softer “soft-serve” texture, you can freeze for 2–3 hours.)
5️⃣ Serve. Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with the reserved chopped strawberries. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Sweetness level: If you prefer a sweeter treat, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup when you fold in the yogurt.
- Even creamier texture: Half-freeze for 2 hours, then stir vigorously with a fork (or beat with a hand mixer) to break up ice crystals before freezing the rest of the way.
- Flavor variations: Swap in raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries in place of the strawberries. A few fresh mint leaves blended in give a refreshing twist.
