Ingredients
Frozen Yogurt Base
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably higher fat for creaminess)
- 4 cups frozen strawberries (or any other frozen fruit of choice)
- 3-4 tablespoons pure maple syrup (adjust based on desired sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather plain Greek yogurt, frozen strawberries, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Using frozen fruit ensures a thick, creamy texture in the final frozen yogurt.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, frozen strawberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a food processor. Pulse and blend continuously, occasionally scraping down the sides, until the mixture achieves a thick and creamy “froyo” consistency. This process typically takes a couple of minutes.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blended mixture and add more maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired. Blend briefly again to incorporate any additional syrup.
- Serve Immediately: For a soft-serve style frozen yogurt, serve right away. The texture will be smooth and creamy, perfect for instant enjoyment.
- Chill for Firmer Texture: Alternatively, transfer the frozen yogurt to a loaf pan and freeze for approximately 30 minutes to achieve a firmer, scoopable consistency resembling traditional ice cream.
Notes
- Use full-fat or higher-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Frozen fruit other than strawberries can be used, such as blueberries, peaches, or mangoes.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on natural sweetness of fruit and personal preference.
- If mixture becomes too firm after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
- This recipe is best consumed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
