Strawberry Yogurt Ice Cream

 Strawberry Yogurt Ice Cream


Strawberry Yogurt Ice Cream

This Strawberry Yogurt Ice Cream is a refreshing and creamy frozen treat that balances the tanginess of yogurt with the sweetness of ripe strawberries. It’s a lighter alternative to traditional ice cream, perfect for hot summer days or as a healthier dessert option.

Ingredients (Serves 6-8):

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, to enhance flavor)
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Strawberries:

    • If using fresh strawberries, hull and chop them into small pieces. If using frozen, thaw them first.
    • In a bowl, mash the strawberries with a fork or blend them into a puree using a blender or food processor. If you prefer chunky ice cream, leave some pieces of strawberries unblended.

  2. Sweeten the Strawberries:

    • In a separate small bowl, mix the mashed strawberries with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to draw out the juices and dissolve the sugar. If you like a smoother texture, you can blend the mixture after the sugar dissolves.

  3. Mix the Ice Cream Base:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and well blended.

  4. Combine Strawberry Mixture with Yogurt Base:

    • Gently fold the sweetened strawberry mixture into the yogurt and cream base. Mix until well combined, but keep some strawberry chunks if you prefer a bit of texture.

  5. Churn the Ice Cream:

    • Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes, depending on your machine.

  6. Freeze the Ice Cream:

    • Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can place the mixture directly in the freezer and stir it every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to help break up ice crystals.

  7. Serve:

    • Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

  • Strawberry Swirl: For a swirl effect, reserve a portion of the strawberry mixture and swirl it into the ice cream after churning for a marbled look.
  • Add-ins: You can add chopped strawberries, crushed graham crackers, or chocolate chips to the ice cream base for extra texture.
  • Dairy-Free: To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt and the heavy cream with coconut cream.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter ice cream, or try adding a hint of mint or basil for a refreshing twist.
