Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I like this recipe because it’s light, fruity, and packed with protein thanks to the Greek yogurt. It’s not overly sweet, and I can control exactly what goes in it. Whether I’m craving something after dinner or need a midday pick-me-up, this frozen yogurt always feels like a treat without the heaviness of ice cream.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Fresh or frozen strawberries
-
Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
-
Honey or maple syrup (to sweeten)
-
Lemon juice (for brightness)
-
Vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
-
If I’m using fresh strawberries, I hull and slice them. For frozen, I let them thaw slightly.
-
I place the strawberries, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and vanilla extract into a blender or food processor.
-
I blend until smooth, then add the Greek yogurt and blend again until everything is fully combined and creamy.
-
I taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed.
-
If I want soft-serve texture, I serve it right away. For a firmer scoopable consistency, I pour it into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2–3 hours.
-
Before serving from frozen, I let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 4 servings.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Freeze time (optional): 2–3 hours
Total time: 10–15 minutes (or longer if freezing)
Variations
Sometimes I swirl in chopped fresh strawberries for added texture or mix in mini chocolate chips for a dessert twist. I’ve also made it with blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor. When I want a tropical vibe, I add a few chunks of pineapple or mango to the mix.
storage/reheating
I store it in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks. To prevent ice crystals, I press plastic wrap or parchment directly onto the surface before sealing. I let it soften slightly at room temperature before scooping. I don’t reheat frozen yogurt—just enjoy it straight from the freezer.
FAQs
Can I make this without an ice cream maker?
Yes, I don’t need one for this recipe. A good blender or food processor is all I use to get a smooth consistency.
Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?
Yes, I’ve used strawberry or vanilla Greek yogurt when I want extra sweetness and flavor. I just adjust the honey or sweetener depending on how sweet the yogurt is.
Is this recipe low in sugar?
It can be! I control the amount of honey or maple syrup, or use a sugar-free alternative if I want a lower-sugar option.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes, I’ve made it with dairy-free coconut or almond milk yogurt. The texture stays creamy, and it still tastes great.
Why is it icy after freezing?
That’s normal for homemade frozen yogurt without stabilizers. I give it a few minutes at room temp before scooping, or blend it again briefly before serving for a smoother texture.
Conclusion
Strawberry Greek Frozen Yogurt is a bright, creamy, and healthy treat that satisfies my sweet tooth without the heaviness of traditional ice cream. With just a few simple ingredients and no fancy equipment required, it’s one of my favorite go-to desserts when I want something quick, refreshing, and homemade.
