Prepare the Strawberries:
Begin by removing the stems from the strawberries. Thoroughly wash them to remove any dirt or debris. -
Make the Strawberry Puree:
Place the strawberries in a blender along with honey and a few basil leaves. Blend the ingredients until smooth, ensuring the strawberries are completely pureed. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can pulse the mixture a few times to leave some small pieces of strawberry. -
Combine with Greek Yogurt:
In a large mixing bowl, add the freshly pureed strawberry mixture. Add the hung curd (Greek yogurt) to the bowl and gently fold it into the strawberry puree using a whisk. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a creamy texture. -
Freeze the Mixture:
Line a loaf tin with parchment paper. Pour the strawberry yogurt mixture into the prepared tin, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Cover the tin with cling film and place it in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze overnight or for at least 12 to 18 hours until it becomes solid. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the frozen yogurt has solidified, remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly. This will make it easier to scoop. Use an ice cream scoop to serve the frozen yogurt into bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and a sprig of basil for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy the deliciously fresh and healthy taste of homemade low-fat strawberry frozen yogurt, perfect for any occasion, especially during the warm months when strawberries are in season!
