I definitely love ice cream and I find it hard to resist it, who doesn’t? So, a while ago I have decided to make homemade ice cream as much as possible, as it is a healthier alternative to the store-bought ones. It is a decision I took especially since I have children. So here I come, with a delicious refined sugar free Blueberry and Strawberry Yogurt Ice Cream. My daughters simply love it.
Only recently I have discovered frozen yogurt. I like it so much that I am determined to try as many variations as possible during this summer. This combination of fruits and yogurt is absolutely delightful. This frozen yogurt, served into waffle cones makes an amazing ice cream. What ice cream can be healthier than that? When my little daughter is asking for my pink ice cream in a cone, I am not feeling guilty about it, not even a bit. This ice cream it is sweetened with only bananas and honey, so it is really a kid friendly recipe.
I am so glad I’ve discovered this blueberry and strawberry yogurt ice cream, as it is simply awesome. We love it so much that I could hardly keep some for a photo session. I consider it a very easy recipe and the best part is that you don’t need an ice cream maker for that. While freezing, you will need to stir at 30 minutes intervals, to break the ice crystals. You will need to do that for about 3 times in order to get the best results.

Hi Ella!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I am dying to try it out! I just have a couple of questions:
1. Can I use Greek yogurt for this recipe?
2. Why does the yogurt needs to be drained before using it? And does it have to be for that long?
3. When you say stir every half an hour once the mixture is in the freezer, with what exactly do you stir it? A spoon? A mixer? My fear is that the mixture would be too frozen and that it won’t work…
I have never done ice cream in my life before, so please bear with me 🙂
Thank you in advance!
