A creamy and refreshing homemade frozen yogurt with a vibrant strawberry swirl. This recipe is easy to make and a healthier alternative to ice cream. Enjoy the taste of summer with every spoonful! Perfect for a hot day, or any time you're craving a delicious and guilt-free treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 pound Fresh Strawberries
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Prepare the Strawberry Sauce
Hull and slice the strawberries. In a saucepan, combine the strawberries with 1/4 cup of honey and the lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have softened and released their juices (about 5 minutes). Let the mixture cool slightly, then blend until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender. Set aside to cool completely.
Combine the Yogurt Base
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, remaining 1/4 cup of honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Swirl the Strawberry Sauce
Pour half of the yogurt mixture into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle half of the cooled strawberry sauce over the yogurt. Repeat with the remaining yogurt and strawberry sauce, creating a swirl effect using a knife or skewer.
Freeze
Cover the container tightly and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
Serve
Let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly. Serve and enjoy!
