An instant hit
This ice cream was a hit! We had a family gathering for Easter and the relatives were coming back for a second – and even third bowl of this delicious treat. It was even difficult to get a photo before it was all gone!
It was a hit with Miss M, too. This recipe is so simple, that Miss M did most of the work (and she is still a few months off turning 4). She poured the ingredients into the bowl and stirred. Of course, she was also my chief taste-tester and bowl-licker. I just got to cut up the strawberries.
Miss M was particularly proud of the fact that she was the chief chef in this case. She informed her aunt and Oma that she had made it (which I had to confirm) when she gave them their bowls and she stood watch over them as they took their first spoonfuls. When they made the right motions and indicated that it tasted delicious, she just beamed.
How to make the strawberry yoghurt ice cream without an ice cream maker
As I have mentioned before, I have an ice cream maker attachment for my KitchenAid stand mixer. Of course, this recipe would work equally well with any other ice cream maker.
If you are using an ice cream maker, make sure you put the freezer bowl or block in a deep freezer. A normal freezer will not be cold enough for it to turn the mixture into ice cream.
Alternatively, you could make it without one, freezing the mix in a freezer and taking it out at various periods (after an hour and then after each
If you are making it without an ice cream maker, I would recommend that you don’t put the mixture in the deep freeze. It will freeze it quickly, but the ice cream will be very hard and difficult to remove from the container later. It may also mean that the strawberry pieces sink to the bottom. As it freezes so quickly, it might not be possible to mix these evenly through the rest.
The form you have selected does not exist.
Other options
I used strawberries, but it works just as well with other berries. Raspberries or blackberries, anyone? Yum!
Other fruit works well too and be just as easy. Mango or banana yoghurt ice cream anyone?
One of these days I’m going to replace the strawberry pieces with dark chocolate chips – crushed a little to make them smaller. I can just imagine it. Can you? I am sure that my learner chef would be on board for this version too.
Enjoy this strawberry yoghurt ice cream on a warm day while relaxing in the garden if possible. It’s great on its own or is particularly lovely with fresh fruit.
