It has been almost a year since I picked up an ice cream maker and I have been enjoying home made frozen treats since. So far I’ve made a few ice creams and a sorbet and I now wanted to try something different. I realized that I have not tried making one of my favorite frozen dishes, a frozen yogurt. I had to fix that immediately. Strawberries were the obvious choice since they are in season and looking so good. One of the things that I like most about making my own ice cream is the simplicity of the recipes. There are only a few ingredients and you can pronounce all of them. This recipe is a perfect example with only four simple ingredients. One thing that you may want to watch out for in this recipe is the sweetness. Plain yogurt can be a bit tart so you will want to test the mixture for sweetness before freezing it. The strawberry frozen yogurt was good! I really enjoyed the texture of the frozen yogurt and the strawberry flavour. Next time I think I will leave some bigger chunks of strawberries in.

Your frozen yogurt looks good! Once I tried making it by freezing regular yogurt, but that obviously didn’t work too well.. haha
Ah, now that is a thing of beauty! I absolutely love fresh strawberry ice cream, frozen yogurt and just about anything with strawberries. You have great ideas, Kevin!
I have strawberries, I have lemon and sugar … will be buying yogurt tomorrow 🙂
This looks delish !
lovely Kevin…I needed something cool and yummy…and I love strawberries…I am definatley going to make some of this…
Boy does that look refreshing! I enjoyed your comment about being able to pronounce all the ingredients! Another great recipe from you!
Mmm, homemade frozen treats are sooo divine.
That looks so good! The strawberries look perfect!
Man, turn your back for a day or two and you’ve done three new posts 🙂 That frozen yoghurt looks amazingly good, I wish strawberries were in season down here…or that I had a bowlful of this! 🙂
lol, being able to pronounce all ingredients is a bonus cuz I know they are not weird chemicals of sort! i love frozen yogurt and used to buy them in tubs!
I just bought some strawberries! Sadly, I dont have an ice cream maker. I love the colors in yours.
Have you ever tried using a flavored yogurt?
Amen to being able to pronounce all the ingredients in a recipe. Some commercial ice creams have so many ingredients, it’s scary! Your frozen yogurt looks delicious Kevin!
You’re absolutely right about the sweetness, Kevin– I tried making frozen yogurt once and it was still too tart for me! Maybe I was expecting it to be like the frozen yogurts off the supermarket 🙂
Beautiful photo! And I bet it tastes just as beautiful.
Now this sounds like the perfect summer snack!

Looks great! I love frozen yogurt! I will definitly have to try this.
frozen yoghurt is amazing. i had 3/4 of a pint of ben&j frozen yoghurt just last week in one sitting. this looks fantastic though. i could do with that bowl of strawberry amazingness in this heat~
I haven’t used my ice cream maker in such a long time… thanks for the inspiration. Now if only my mouth would stop watering. Great job Kevin.
Wow! Delicious. And a HUGE plus that you can pronounce all the ingredients. 🙂
Looks and sounds incredible! 🙂
Yumm! Love homemade froyo.
That looks so refreshing kevin!
This looks so good! I really need an ice cream maker 🙂
Perfect summer treat!
yum! i am going to (try to) make cherry-goat cheese yogurt next week. hopefully it is as successful as this yogurt.
This cools me off instantly!
Kevin that looks so yummy! I must have a go at that.
very nice looking and always nice to know what your putting in your body 🙂
Beautiful color, dude.
You are killing me with this photo. Looks soooooo good!
Great use of the finally arriving Ontario strawberries…yogurt vs. sweet is a nice flavour combo.
the mercury climbs at 37°celsius here in southern france..this delicious frozen yogurt is all that i need 🙂
Mmm that is delicious!
nice entry into the world of homemade frozen yogurt! it looks properly refreshing, smooth, and tasty.
Wow, nothing says summer like fresh strawberry frozen yourgurt.
Looks really tasty
The color is just amazing. It’s such a simple recipe, I love that!
I have been eating strawberries lately. I guess this is a good idea to eat them in another way!!
Kevin :
I think the time has come for me to get an ice cream maker!
Kevin- This looks absolutely amazing! Great photo!
That is gorgeous! I have to get my machine going. It’s all set, in the freezer–I just need to decide what to make. this looks like a great place to start!
That’s a bowl full of summer!
Wow – it doesn’t get much easier, does it!! This sounds like a perfect summer treat.
That’s so beautiful! I made cherry ice cream with my brand-spanking-new ice cream machine last week, but I haven’t gotten a good photo yet so I haven’t written it up. I will definitely try this next. I wonder if a strawberry/blueberry mixture would work…
Ohhh! Do you love your ice cream maker so much you want to marry it? I have wanted one for ages but have never got around to taking the plunge and buying one. Partly because my freezer doesn’t always get super-chilly, and partly because I think I would become ice cream obsessed…
I don’t think my berries will last long enough for me to order an ice cream maker….boo hoo…this is a nice looking dessert!
Oh my gosh that looks so good. I wish I had room for an ice cream maker!
Absolutely delicious and beauty Kevin!!!xGloria
Kevin this looks so delicious and refreshing 🙂
this looks so good yet so simple to make!! thanks for the idea! i think i will try this with soy yogurt and see what happens!
Just look at that perfect bowl of berries and fro yo. I too tend to forget about my ice cream maker – although with all of the food bloggers going gangbusters with their ice creams and frozen treats, it’s hard to avoid inspiration! Thanks for inspiring me 🙂
I love strawberry frozen yogurt! What a great idea to serve it with some of the berries!
i wish i had an ice cream maker! i love strawberries and this looks so refreshing 🙂
Fantastic frozen strawberry.I just happen to see this from Siri round up.The picture was brusting with lovely colour.Great job Kevin
Just tried this recipe today, came out great. Thanks!
whether the difference between kefir and yogurt?
Which is better between them?
whether kefir has the same flavor of yogurt?
It looks very tasty
dhan: I have never had kefir. The description sounds like it might be similar, in that it is a fermented dairy product. I will have to look for some to try.
