Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh strawberries
- 240 milliliters low-fat plain yogurt
- 240 milliliters low-fat milk
- 60 milliliters honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
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!
