The Best Fresh Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Recipe
This strawberry frozen yogurt is exactly what a home-kitchen treat should be: vibrant, tangy, and bursting with the flavor of sun-ripened berries. By using full-fat Greek yogurt and fresh fruit, you achieve a velvety texture that’s much more satisfying than anything you'll find in the grocery store freezer aisle.

Method
Prepare your strawberries by washing, hulling, and slicing them into halves or quarters.
Place the sliced strawberries, honey, and lemon juice into a blender or food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is smooth, though you can leave a few small fruit bits if you prefer a chunkier texture.
Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract to the strawberry puree. Pulse or blend on low for about 15-20 seconds until the color is a uniform pink and the mixture is well-incorporated.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes between 15 and 25 minutes depending on the machine.
Once it reaches a soft-serve consistency, you can eat it immediately or transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container.
For a firmer, scoopable texture, freeze the yogurt for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Always use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best mouthfeel; low-fat versions contain more water and can lead to an icy rather than creamy texture.
If your strawberries are exceptionally tart, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of honey after tasting the initial puree.
Chill your storage container in the freezer before adding the churned yogurt to prevent it from melting while you transfer it.
If the yogurt becomes too hard in the freezer, let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes before scooping.
