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!
