How to Make Frozen Yogurt without an Ice Cream Maker
Homemade strawberry frozen yogurt is fast and forgiving. For the smoothest texture use a food processor or a high-powered blender. Add the frozen strawberries, yogurt, lemon juice and sweetener to the bowl and process until creamy — about five minutes. If your blender needs help, stop occasionally and scrape down the sides so everything blends evenly.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2–3 hours if you prefer a firmer scoopable yogurt.
Let’s Chat Yogurt for Your Homemade Froyo
Full-fat yogurt yields the creamiest, richest result, but you can use any variety — nonfat, Greek, regular, flavored or dairy-free. Greek yogurt gives a thicker texture; regular yogurt makes a lighter, silkier froyo. Try flavored yogurts to add nuance, or choose dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.
Freezing Tips
Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. The mixture will become solid; let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping so it softens slightly.
Whether you serve this straight from the blender for a soft-serve experience or freeze it for a firmer dessert, this strawberry frozen yogurt is a crowd-pleaser. For a finishing touch, fold in chocolate chips or a sprinkle of granola.

Kelly’s Notes
- I prefer a slightly tart frozen yogurt, but add more sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
- Regular or Greek yogurt in any flavor works here — dairy-free options are fine too.
- If using fresh strawberries, make sure they are frozen solid before processing so you get the right texture.
- Freezing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Let soften a few minutes at room temperature before scooping.
