Two-Flavors Strawberry and Yogurt Ice Cream
Ingredients
- For the Strawberry Layer:
- 2 cups (300g) fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- For the Yogurt Layer:
- 2 cups (480g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional Add-ins:
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- Sliced strawberries (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry layer:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional for a smoother texture).
- Pour the strawberry mixture into a shallow dish or ice cream molds and freeze for 1-2 hours, or until partially set.
- Prepare the yogurt layer:
- In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the partially frozen strawberry layer in the dish or molds.
- Freeze:
- Cover the dish or molds with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
- Serve:
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and sliced strawberries if desired.
Tips
- No-churn option: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, simply freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to prevent ice crystals.
- Customize flavors: Use other fruits like blueberries, mangoes, or peaches for the fruit layer.
- Sweetener alternatives: Use honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute for a healthier twist.
