Homemade Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

I was trying to make a Pinterest-worthy smoothie bowl one day when I accidentally froze it too much. I thought I would have to throw it away, but then I had an idea. I scraped off the top layer and discovered a frozen treat that was even better than the smoothie I had been trying to make. I hope you enjoy this Strawberry Frozen Yogurt.

This recipe is a simple combination of yogurt, strawberries, coconut milk, and a touch of stevia. It’s not as creamy as traditional ice cream, but it’s still delicious and refreshing. It’s also a great post-workout snack.

Servings: 6

Serving size: 300 g.

Preparation time: 60 minutes

Passive time: 6 hours

Ingredients

• 2 cups of strawberries, 300 g.
• 1 cup of coconut milk, 240 ml
• 2 cups of plain yogurt, 490 g.
• 4 packets of Stevia

Instructions for making Strawberry Yogurt Ice Cream

1. In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, plain yogurt, coconut milk, and stevia. Blend until smooth.

2. Pour the mixture into a long glass or metal container. Freeze the mixture for at least 6 hours, or until firm.

3. Remove the mixture from the freezer and scrape the surface with a fork or spoon.

4. Place the scraped mixture in the ice cream maker.  Turn on the ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The ice cream maker typically has two stages: the first stage mixes the mixture and the second stage freezes the mixture. The first stage can take between 15 and 30 minutes. The second stage can take between 30 and 60 minutes. Once the mixture is frozen, remove the mixture from the ice cream maker and serve.

5. If you want a firmer ice cream, you can put it in the freezer for another hour before serving.

Variations and substitutions

• You can use any frozen fruit you like. I like to use strawberries, mango, or blueberries.
• If you don’t like coconut milk, you can use any other milk you like.
• You can use any sweetener you like. I like to use stevia, but you can also use honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sugar substitute.

Tips and Tricks Section for making Strawberry Yogurt Ice Cream

• Use ripe strawberries. Ripe strawberries will be sweeter and more flavorful.
• To save time, you can freeze the strawberries and yogurt ahead of time. You can even freeze the yogurt in ice cube trays to make it easier to blend.
• If you wish, you can add pieces of whole strawberries to the mixture after blending.
• If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can make this treat in popsicle molds. Just pour the mixture into the molds and freeze for at least 4 hours.
• For extra creaminess, use Greek yogurt.
• Don’t overblend the mixture. Overblending will make your treat too icy.
