Favorite Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
This Strawberry Frozen Yogurt is so fresh and so creamy. It does freeze firm, so plan to let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving or see the very quick soft serve version in the Notes at the end.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries (stems removed and finely diced)
Instructions
- Optional for extra creaminess: Place a mesh colander lined with a paper towel over a bowl. Add yogurt and let strain for 1-2 hours. Discard liquid and proceed with the recipe.
- In a freezer-safe container, stir together all ingredients until well-combined. Taste it to adjust the sweetness as you like. (You may need a little more honey or maple syrup if your strawberries aren't super flavorful.)
- Seal the lid and freeze for 4-6 hours or until just firm, or overnight.
- Let sit out for 20-30 minutes before serving to soften. Stir and mash it up before serving for the creamiest consistency. (Doing that will break up any ice crystals that form.)
Notes
- Instant Soft Serve Option: Place 2 cups frozen strawberries and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt into a food processor. Blend until smooth. Sweeten to taste as desired with maple syrup or honey or serve as is. (If the frozen strawberries are super firm, let them sit at room temp for about 5 minutes to soften.)
- Freeze in individual portions if desired for up to 3 months. Smaller portions will soften faster at room temperature.
- Try with other fresh berries like raspberries.
- Freeze the mixture into popsicle molds if desired.
- You could churn this in an ice cream maker and serve immediately for a soft frozen texture.
- To make this with regular yogurt, simply place a little more than the recipe calls for into a paper towel-lined fine-mesh sieve placed over a bowl. Let it drain for at least an hour (or longer) to let out some of the liquid and thicken the yogurt.
- Dairy-free: Try coconut cream (from a can) or nondairy Greek style yogurt like the kind from Siggi's.
