Thanks Damaris! On to the recipe!
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
1 cup of strawberry puree
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
juice of 2 lemons
2 cups plain yogurt
In a food processor puree the strawberries. Once you have about 1 cup of puree add the can of sweetened condensed milk and mix on high for 30 seconds.
Add the lemon juice and mix until it is incorporated into the mixture.
Add the yogurt and again mix for 30 seconds.
Put the mixture in your ice cream maker and follow the directions of the manufacturer.
Totally easy. Totally good!
Thanks again Damaris!
