Ingredients:
- 175 grams granulated sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 150 milliliters water
- 450 grams fresh strawberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 285 grams low-fat yogurt
- 4-6 strawberries, sliced for garnish
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Sugar Syrup: Begin by heating the granulated sugar, lemon zest, and water in a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves. Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for approximately 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and let it cool.
-
Make the Strawberry Puree: While the sugar syrup is cooling, wash and clean the strawberries thoroughly. Place them in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
-
Combine the Mixtures: Strain the cooled sugar syrup over the strawberry puree to remove any lemon zest pieces. Blend the syrup and strawberry puree together until well combined.
-
Add Yogurt: Transfer the strawberry mixture into a bowl. Add the low-fat yogurt and mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Initial Freezing: Pour the mixture into a plastic container and freeze for about 2 hours. After the initial freezing, remove it from the freezer and blend the mixture again to ensure a smooth texture. Return it to the freezer and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours.
-
Final Blend and Freeze: After the second freezing, blend the mixture one more time to achieve a creamy consistency. Freeze until firm, which will take around 4 hours.
-
Soften and Serve: Before serving, let the ice cream sit in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Spoon the ice cream into 4-6 bowls and garnish each serving with a fanned strawberry slice.
