3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, lightly whip the double cream until it just holds its shape.

6. Step 6: Cover with the remaining yogurt mixture and top with the remaining crushed shortbread and freeze-dried strawberries.
7. Step 7: Freeze for at least 4 hours until solid. Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.

Tips & Variations

• For extra fruity texture, stir in finely chopped fresh strawberries just before freezing.
• Use gluten-free shortbread if you prefer a gluten-free dessert.
• If freeze-dried strawberries are unavailable, substitute with fresh chopped strawberries or raspberry pieces for added color and flavor.

Storage

Store the frozen yogurt in a sealed freezer-proof container for up to 2 months. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, you can substitute regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt gives a creamier texture and thicker consistency that works best for this recipe.

Do I have to use condensed milk?

Condensed milk adds sweetness and creaminess, but you can use honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener if preferred. Adjust quantities to taste.

Instructions

1. Prepare Strawberry Puree: Place 400g of the hulled strawberries into a food processor and blitz until completely smooth to create a vibrant strawberry puree.
2. Chop Remaining Strawberries: Finely chop the remaining 150g of strawberries into small pieces and set aside for texture.
3. Combine Base Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, condensed milk, and vanilla bean paste or extract to the food processor with the strawberry puree. Whizz again to combine all the ingredients into a smooth mixture.
4. Whip the Cream: Pour the double cream into a bowl and softly whip it until it just holds its shape, creating a light and airy texture to blend with the yogurt base.
5. Fold Strawberry Puree and Chopped Berries into Cream: Add approximately one-third of the strawberry yogurt mixture to the whipped cream and gently fold with a spatula to incorporate without deflating the cream. Then add the remaining strawberry mixture along with the chopped strawberries and mix gently until evenly distributed.
6. Layer the Frozen Yogurt: Pour half of the combined mixture into a freezer-proof container. Sprinkle half of the crushed shortbread biscuits and half of the freeze-dried strawberry pieces over the surface.
7. Add Final Layer and Freeze: Cover the shortbread and freeze-dried strawberries with the remaining frozen yogurt mixture. Top with the remaining crushed shortbread and freeze-dried strawberries. Cover the container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
8. Serve: Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easy scooping.

Notes

• For best texture, do not over-whip the cream; it should just hold its shape.
• Shortbread biscuits and freeze-dried strawberries add texture and flavor but can be omitted for a smoother frozen yogurt.
• Freeze for up to 2 months, but for optimal freshness and flavor, consume within 1 month.
• If you prefer a sweeter yogurt, additional sweetener can be added, but condensed milk already adds ample sweetness.
