Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

My kids all love to help me make this, especially when it's time to eat it!

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

4 cups plain yogurt (low fat or fat free)

1 1/2 cups frozen sliced strawberries in syrup, thawed

1 cup whipping cream ‘or’ evaporated skim milk

3/4 cup sugar

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then freeze according to your ice cream makers instructions.

This recipe makes 2 quarts of yogurt mixture, and when frozen it will expand in size, so if your ice cream maker has a 2 quart size canister, then only pour half of the mixture in at a time as it will expand as your ice cream maker freezes the mixture. But if your canister is bigger than 2 quarts, you can freeze the entire batch at once with no worries. Also, if you would like to lower the fat content a little, you can substitute evaporated skim milk for the whipping cream, just know that it may change the texture of the final product a bit, but less fat and calories are always worth it in the end, in my opinion.
