Here I go again – giving my ice cream maker a workout in one of the coldest months of the year. I had a few items in my fridge that were rapidly approaching their “best if used by” date. So, I once again turned to a creamy, frozen treat in spite piles of drifted snow staring at me through my kitchen window. But, sincem y last post was all about rich and decadent homemade ice cream, I decided to lighten things up a bit and make some frozen yogurt. The method is almost exactly the same as ice cream and the results are just as delicious!
Start with some frozen strawberries, thawed.
After pureeing, strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth.
Mix in strawberry puree….
Yes, it’s a snowy blizzard outside and I used my ice cream maker again. Strawberry Frozen Yogurt.
