Lulu Letty: DIY: Strawberry Ice Cream

DIY: Strawberry Ice Cream

This is a very simple recipe that I found in Good Housekeeping mag and then slightly modified.

DIY: Strawberry Ice Cream
Ingredients:
1lb of frozen strawberries, slightly thawed.
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I only used three 5.3 oz containers)

DIY: Strawberry Ice Cream
Step 1: Blend 1 cup of strawberries in a food processor. It helps if the strawberries are slightly thawed, which I didn't do at first but highly recommend.

Step 2: Transfer berries to a large metal bowl.

Step 3: In food processor, puree yogurt, sugar and vanilla.

DIY: Strawberry Ice Cream
Step 4: Add remaining (slightly thawed) strawberries.

DIY: Strawberry Ice Cream
Step 5: Transfer to bowl with strawberries; stir well till blended.

DIY: Strawberry Ice Cream
Step 6: Freeze for one hour until firm. This time may vary depending on freezer temperatures. Mine took about two hours and I stirred it every 45 minutes.

DIY: Strawberry Ice Cream
Step 7: Enjoy!

It really is quite delicious and much more healthy than regular ice cream.

thanks for this-- I don't subscribe to GH so am esp appreciative.
May I share another easy strawberry recipe I learned in Italy? all you need is ripe strawberries (the riper the better), sugar and red wine. just slice up the berries, add some sugar and enough wine just to below the level of strawberries. eat with a spoon and drink the delicious left over wine

ooh wonderful: I foresee a summer of adapting for raspberries, mangoes, nectarines...

I may be some time...

Leia  – (June 15, 2010 3:23 AM)  

This looks delicious! If we got strawberries here in Bangladesh I'd definitely try it out! Maybe I'll do it with mangoes instead...

Sahakiel  – (June 15, 2010 5:00 AM)  

Delicious!! But you know what? Here we don't have frozen strawberries!! It's the first time I see that!

But now we can find strawberries in the market, so I would try to prepare this with the natural ones :D

Thanks for the recipe, yummy!!

Xoxo,

Libs

Yogurt is pretty disgusting, but I will give that a pass.

That is the same kind of vanilla I use. My fancy William Sonoma cookbook told me that Madagascar Bourbon vanilla is the best kind.

I book marked this. It looks yummy. I made something similar with my friend the other day..unfortunately we kind of lost the healthy benefits by topping it with a crunchy homemade brown sugar granola :)

I followed your blog :) Christy from Dress Rehearsal

this looks amazing - i'll definitely have to try it! i bet it'd also be super tasty in popsicle form.

jessica  – (June 15, 2010 8:46 PM)  

Wow! This is awesome! I always thought of making ice cream as something that was really hard, but this doesn't seem so bad. I'm going to try it!

Morgan and Lua  – (June 15, 2010 9:19 PM)  

Looks delicious. Especially with some fresh strawberries now that they're in season. I wonder if it would be just as good with Agave nectar or honey...
Yum either way!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE! I think this would be a fun little project! I love strawberry ice cream, so freshly made ice cream is totally awesome :)

jeune_premier  – (June 16, 2010 1:48 PM)  

good to see that you use greek products!!!

Kaylie Marie  – (June 16, 2010 6:57 PM)  

So I made the strawberry version, which was fantastic (I used your variations as well - 1/4 a cup of sugar just didn't seem like enough) and then, feeling a bit more daring, switched out the strawberries for frozen peaches and used honey Greek yogurt. Both were delicious.

Thanks so much for this!

katrina  – (June 16, 2010 6:59 PM)  

who knew icecream could be made at home so simply? the texture looks good and yummy!

Tanglewood  – (June 17, 2010 3:23 PM)  

Have you seen the recipe for banana "ice cream" that's on TheKitchn? All you do is whip frozen bananas along with whatever sweeteners (or nuts or cinnamon, etc.) in a food processor. It takes about ten minutes, but if you keep whipping, the whole thing turns into frozen yogurt because of b-fruit's texture. Super good and easy!
