Indulge guilt-free with this creamy and refreshing Low Fat Strawberry Ice Cream! Made with fresh strawberries, low-fat yogurt, and milk, this healthier version of the classic treat is naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup for a delightful burst of flavor. Vanilla extract adds a subtle aromatic touch, while the simple, no-cook recipe ensures effortless preparation in just 15 minutes. Whether churned in an ice cream maker or frozen in a container for a DIY approach, this recipe guarantees a smooth and luscious consistency perfect for summer days. Serve in cones or bowls and savor the natural sweetness of strawberries in every scoop.
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend less or pulse the mixture.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberry puree, low-fat plain yogurt, low-fat milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly incorporated.
For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or chunks (optional).
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches the desired creamy consistency.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours. Stir the mixture with a fork every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals and create a creamy texture.
Once the ice cream is ready, serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours for a firmer texture.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade low-fat strawberry ice cream!
