After a hot soccer practice my kids wanted froyo, so I made this Greek Yogurt Strawberry Frozen Yogurt in the Ninja Creami instead of driving to the mall kiosk. The nonfat Greek yogurt and fresh strawberries with a little honey taste like tangy pinkberry, scoopable and not icy. My daughter said it was better than the place by the food court, high praise. The honey matters here, it keeps the yogurt from freezing rock hard, so don't skip it. Dice the strawberries small, freeze the pint 24 hours, and re-spin with a splash of milk if it's too firm.
How it spins
Tip: freeze the pint on a level shelf for a full 24 hours. If the first spin looks crumbly, add a splash of milk and run Re-spin.
Ingredients
- Nonfat Greek Yogurt1.5 cup
- Diced Fresh Strawberries0.5 cup
- Honey2 tbsp
- Vanilla Extract0.5 tsp
- Freeze-dried Strawberriesoptional2 tbsp
Directions
- 1Blend the Greek yogurt, strawberries, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
- 2Pour into a Creami pint, staying under the max-fill line.
- 3Freeze flat for about 24 hours until solid.
- 4Spin on the Lite Ice Cream preset.
- 5Re-spin once or twice until the frozen yogurt turns creamy.
- 6Top with freeze-dried strawberries and run the Mix-In program.
Tips
- Freeze the pint completely flat for the full 16-24 hours so the Creami can shave it evenly and produce a smooth, creamy texture instead of chunky or powdery results.
- If your frozen yogurt comes out too crumbly after spinning, add a splash of milk or cream, reinsert the pint, and run the program again to get that scoopable consistency.
- Dice your strawberries small and distribute them evenly throughout the base before freezing so they stay suspended and you get fruit in every bite.
Variations
- Swap half the Greek yogurt for regular yogurt or use coconut yogurt to create a lighter texture that processes more smoothly in the Creami.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey and add a pinch of cinnamon for a warmer, spiced frozen yogurt that pairs well with fresh berries.
- Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the base to brighten the strawberry flavor and create a slightly tangier frozen treat.
FAQ
- Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
- Fresh strawberries work best because they distribute throughout the pint as it freezes, but you can use thawed frozen berries if you strain out excess liquid first to avoid a watery base.
- My frozen pint won't spin smoothly in the Creami. What went wrong?
- The pint may not be frozen solid enough, which takes 16-24 hours depending on your freezer. If it's fully frozen but comes out crumbly, add a small splash of milk or cream and re-spin until creamy.
- Can I make this with less honey to reduce sugar?
- Yes, you can reduce honey by half or substitute with a sugar-free sweetener, though this may affect how smoothly the mixture freezes and spins, so test first with a small batch.
- How long can I keep the finished frozen yogurt after spinning?
- Once spun, eat it immediately for the best texture, or store the spun result in a freezer-safe container for up to a few hours before it hardens back up.
