Ingredients
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat eggs and powdered sugar until the mixture is very light and fluffy and the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Stir in the yogurt.
- In a blender or food processor, process strawberries until pureed.
- Add the strawberry puree to the egg mixture and stir to blend.
- Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, or pour into a loaf pan or mold and place in the freezer.
- If freezing without an ice cream maker, stir the mixture from time to time with a fork or small whisk to break up ice crystals and make it smooth.
- Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until firm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat yogurt instead of low-fat. If you want a sweeter yogurt, consider adding a bit more powdered sugar. Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen ones, but make sure to thaw and drain excess liquid. You could also try other fruit purees, like mango or peach, to create variations. This frozen treat pairs beautifully with Pineapple Breakfast Rounds.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this refreshing strawberry yogurt in chilled bowls or glasses to keep it cool longer. For an added touch, garnish with fresh whole strawberries or a sprig of mint. It makes a delightful dessert on its own or can be paired with light pastries or a slice of Cherry Pecan Pound Cake for a delightful treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To enjoy again, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping, or microwave for a few seconds to soften. If the yogurt becomes too hard, stirring it will help restore a smoother consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries?
Yes, you can substitute strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries, or even tropical fruits like mango or peach for a different flavor. Simply puree the chosen fruit in the same manner as the strawberries and mix it into the yogurt base.
What if I don't have an ice cream maker?
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this yogurt. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or mold and place it in the freezer. Remember to stir it every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up any ice crystals and ensure a smooth texture.
How long does it take to freeze?
The freezing time can vary based on the method used. If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes. If freezing without one, it typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to firm up, but check for consistency regularly.
