Name: Pregnancy-Friendly Frozen Yogurt
Prep time: 5 min
Ingredients: 4 cups sliced frozen strawberries (or other frozen fruit of your choice); 2 cups sliced frozen banana; 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt; 2 tsp orange extract (or vanilla extract); 4 to 6 tbsp honey (adjust to liking; Greek honey recommended); 1/4 cup sugar (optional but highly recommended for texture); 1 tbsp corn syrup (optional)

This Easy Homemade Frozen Yogurt is a fast, refreshing dessert that takes only 5 minutes of active prep work. Using a combination of frozen strawberries and bananas, it delivers a naturally sweet and fruity flavor without the need for an ice cream maker. The secret to its creamy texture is using full-fat Greek yogurt, which is strained to remove excess whey and liquids, minimizing the icy crystals that often form during freezing.

Additionally, adding a touch of corn syrup and sugar acts as a stabilizer to ensure your fro-yo remains smooth, vibrant, and perfectly scoopable.

Ingredients

4 cups sliced frozen strawberries (or other frozen fruit of your choice)
2 cups sliced frozen banana
1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
2 tsp orange extract (or vanilla extract)
4 to 6 tbsp honey (adjust to liking; Greek honey recommended)
1/4 cup sugar (optional but highly recommended for texture)
1 tbsp corn syrup (optional)

Directions

Combine: Place the frozen strawberries, banana, yogurt, orange extract (or vanilla extract), honey, sugar, and corn syrup into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade (or a heavy-duty blender).
Blend: Blend the ingredients together until they form a smooth, creamy, smoothie-like mixture. Taste the mixture, and if you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more honey.
Prep for Freezing: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and smooth the surface evenly. Press a piece of parchment paper directly against the top of the yogurt to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze: Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until it hardens.
Serve: Allow the frozen yogurt to sit at room temperature for a few minutes just until soft enough to scoop. Scoop the amount you need using long, shallow pulls for the best texture, and enjoy!

Notes

For Best Consistency: It is highly recommended to use whole milk (full-fat) Greek yogurt. The optional corn syrup and sugar significantly improve the freezing consistency, preventing it from becoming an icy block.
Extra Creamy: For an even creamier finish, you can add 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream with the frozen fruit before blending. You can also swap the Greek yogurt for labneh, though it is tarter and may require more sweetener.
Fruit Variations: Try substituting the strawberries with frozen mango, peaches, or mixed berries. Depending on the fruit chosen, you may opt to eliminate the banana.
