Easy Homemade Frozen Yogurt
This bright, tangy frozen yogurt combines strawberries and bananas for a scoopable, refreshing dessert that's perfect for hot summer days.
Ingredients
Frozen Fruit Base
- 4 cups sliced frozen strawberries or another frozen fruit
- 2 cups sliced frozen banana
Yogurt and Flavoring
- 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt whole-milk for creaminess; low-fat will freeze harder
- 2 tsp orange extract or vanilla extract
- 4-6 tbsp honey more to taste; Greek honey works well
- 1/4 cup sugar optional but recommended for texture
- 1 tbsp corn syrup optional; adds scoopability
Instructions
Preparation
- Add frozen strawberries and frozen banana to the food processor or blender. Pulse 6–8 times to break them up.
- Add the Greek yogurt, orange extract, honey, sugar, and corn syrup. Blend on medium-high until smooth and thick, scraping down the sides once.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if desired. If the mixture is too stiff to blend, add 1 tbsp yogurt or a splash of milk.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and smooth the surface with a spatula. Press a sheet of parchment directly on top to limit ice crystals.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until firm.
Serving
- Let the container sit at room temperature for 3–8 minutes before scooping. Serve scoops in chilled bowls.
Notes
Store in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes or at room temperature for 3–8 minutes before scooping.
