Hi Bold Bakers! There are few things as refreshing as frozen yogurt on a hot summer day. Although many yogurt shops offer delicious fro-yo, they often come with unnecessary artificial sweeteners and flavors. With my simple homemade frozen yogurt, you’ll get the same great taste with all-natural ingredients. Already have an account? My strawberry frozen yogurt recipe contains just four essentials: Frozen fruit, yogurt, honey and a squeeze of lemon. No need for additives – this mix contains only natural sugars that come from fruit and honey and is one of my favorite frozen dessert recipes. This healthy treat is wonderful if you’re looking to lighten things up and cut down on the extra calories.
How to Make Frozen Yogurt
My homemade frozen yogurt could not be simpler to whip up. Add your favorite fruit and the remaining ingredients into a food processor, blend until smooth and freeze! Easy peasy. My recipes are triple tested so I guarantee smooth, scoopable and delicious fro-yo bliss. Homemade frozen yogurt can be made with whichever yogurt you prefer. I use Greek yogurt as it is higher in protein but regular yogurt will do just as well. When deciding on a yogurt, my recommendation is to use plain yogurt with no added flavor.
Frozen fruit is important for this recipe, and a good quality pack of fruit will provide you with a creamy and smooth blend. Frozen fruit is typically less expensive and packed in season, so don’t feel limited to seasonality. For this recipe, you can never truly go wrong with the sweetness of good strawberries. To give your frozen yogurt the same sweetness and scoop-ability as the ones you’d find at a shop, honey is the answer. Liquid sugar keeps ice crystals from forming in your frozen yogurt, and honey is a great all natural sweetener that will keep your mixture from hardening too much in the freezer. For dairy-free or vegan frozen yogurt, swap out the honey for agave and use a dairy-free yogurt like coconut yogurt.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips
You can make this with fresh strawberries but you may need to increase the freezing time. Unless you are making this at peak strawberry season, we recommend using frozen fruit since they are picked at their prime and flash frozen to preserve flavor. We like to use Greek yogurt because it has a higher protien content but any plain yogurt will work. For the creamiest results, use full fat yogurt, but low or nonfat yogurt will also work. The honey or agave adds just a touch of sweetness but also helps the frozen yogurt stay creamy and not icy. For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy yogurt.
