Why You'll Love this Strawberry Frozen Yogurt:
Naturally sweetened: Honey provides gentle sweetness without refined sugar.
Creamy and refreshing: Yogurt creates a smooth, tangy base that freezes into a cool dessert.
Simple ingredients: Made with just strawberries, yogurt, and honey.
Flexible method: Works with an ice cream maker or a no-churn freezing method.
Perfect for warm weather: A light, refreshing frozen dessert that's easy to make ahead.
Key Ingredients:
- plain yogurt. Forms the creamy base of this frozen dessert. Whole milk yogurt creates the smoothest, creamiest texture once frozen, while lower-fat yogurts can be more icy.
- fresh strawberries. Fresh, ripe strawberries provide natural sweetness and bright flavor. Using ripe berries reduces the need for extra honey.
- honey. Naturally sweetens the frozen yogurt and helps improve scoopability by lowering the freezing point, resulting in a softer, smoother texture straight from the freezer.

Easy Substitutions & Variations:
- Use Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt creates a thicker, tangier frozen yogurt. For best results, use full-fat Greek yogurt to avoid an icy texture.
- Adjust sweetness: Strawberries vary in sweetness. Taste the blended mixture and add more honey, one tablespoon at a time, if needed.
- Use frozen strawberries: Frozen strawberries can be used in place of fresh. Let them thaw slightly before blending for a smoother texture.
- Add citrus: A small splash of lemon juice can brighten the strawberry flavor without making the frozen yogurt tart.
- Make it extra creamy: Chill the blended mixture before freezing or churning to improve texture and creaminess.
How to Make Strawberry Frozen Yogurt:
- Rinse, hull, and slice the strawberries. In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, yogurt, and honey. Blend until smooth.
- Taste the mixture and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter. For a creamier texture, chill the blended mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours before churning.
- If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture in and churn about 20-25 minutes.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container, freeze for 1 hour, then stir well. Repeat stirring every 30-60 minutes until it's fully frozen, this helps reduce iciness.
- Scoop and enjoy! Let it sit for 5-10 minutes at room temp if it's too firm from the freezer.
Recipe Notes & Tips:
- Use full-fat yogurt for best texture: Whole milk yogurt creates a creamier frozen yogurt. Low-fat or nonfat yogurt tends to freeze harder and can become icy.
- Honey improves scoopability: Honey doesn't freeze as hard as sugar, which helps keep the frozen yogurt softer and easier to scoop straight from the freezer.
- Chill before freezing or churning: Chilling the blended mixture for 1-2 hours before freezing or using an ice cream maker improves texture and reduces iciness.
- Stir well for no-churn: If you're not using an ice cream maker, stirring the mixture every 30-60 minutes as it freezes helps break up ice crystals and creates a smoother result.
- Let it sit before serving: If the frozen yogurt is very firm, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for the best texture.

How to Store:
Freezer: Store the strawberry frozen yogurt in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks. For the best texture, press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly on the surface before sealing the lid, this helps prevent ice crystals from forming.
Before serving: Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
Refreezing: If it starts to get icy after a few days, you can let it thaw just slightly, give it a quick stir, then refreeze to refresh the texture.
