Ingredients (Serves 4):

• 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1 1/2 cups (360ml) plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works well for a creamier texture)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for added brightness)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberries:

   • In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries and honey or maple syrup. Let the strawberries sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate and release their natural juices.

2. Blend the Mixture:

   • In a blender or food processor, combine the macerated strawberries, yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or syrup.

3. Chill the Mixture:

   • Pour the strawberry yogurt mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Use a spatula to smooth it into an even layer.

4. Freeze the Yogurt:

   • Freeze the yogurt for at least 3-4 hours, or until it becomes firm and scoopable. Stir it every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours for a creamier texture, if you have the time.

5. Serve:

   • Scoop the frozen strawberry yogurt into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a drizzle of honey, if desired.

Tips and Variations:

• Vegan Option: Use coconut or almond yogurt for a dairy-free version.
• Add-ins: Add some chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or a handful of granola to the yogurt before freezing for added texture.
• Berry Variations: Replace the strawberries with other berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries, for a different flavor.
