A couple of weeks ago I was at Costco and they had a special on the Cuisinart 1-1/2-Quart Ice Cream Maker (affiliate link) and before you could say Low-Sugar Strawberry Frozen Yogurt, one of the ice cream makers was in my cart.  I’m not a big ice cream eater, but for a few years now I’ve been thinking it might be fun to experiment with low-sugar frozen yogurt.

My first experiment with the new ice cream maker was not a keeper, but this time the frozen yogurt was so good that even my young nephews who were visiting gobbled it up. One of them told me quite seriously, “You can even say on your blog that it’s kid approved, and kids don’t usually like ice cream that doesn’t have sugar.”

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

• fresh strawberries
• sugar-free strawberry preserves (affiliate link)
• Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link), or other sweetener of your choice
• plain Greek Yogurt 

What Sugar -Free Strawberry preserves did we use?

A recipe that has fresh strawberries can’t ever be completely sugar-free, but if you use sugar-free strawberry preserves you can keep the sugar amount pretty low. I used Polaner Sugar-Free Strawberry Preserves (affiliate link) both of which has a generous amount of fiber. I recently realized the nutritional calculator was calculating the sugar-free preserves incorrectly, so I re-calculated nutritional information using the information on the label and was pleasantly surprised that this frozen yogurt was lower in carbs than I thought! (If you don’t want to use preserves that have artificial sweetener, look for ones labeled “all fruit” or “simply fruit.” That will slightly increase the amount of carbs.)  

What sweetener did I use?

Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link) would be my first choice for this recipe. But use any no-calorie granulated sweetener you prefer if you don’t have Monkfruit. 

Tips for maing the low-sugar frozen yogurt:

(Scroll down for complete recipe with nutritional information.)

1. I used Polaner Sugar-Free Strawberry Preserves (affiliate link) for this recipe, but whatever brand you choose, look for one with a generous amount of fiber if you’re limiting carbs.
2. I started with 2 cups of cleaned and washed strawberries, which I pureed in the food processor.
3. Then I added 1/2 cup sugar free strawberry preserves and the same amount of Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link). Here’s how it looked after I had buzzed together the strawberry puree, strawberry preserves, and Monkfruit sweetener.
4. Then I added the 2 cups of Greek Yogurt and processed just enough to get it blended with the strawberry mixture.
5. Pour the mixture into the ice cream freezer and start it turning.  (Stopping to take a photo at this point was NOT a good idea, and next time I won’t be doing that!)
6. I probably should have let the frozen yogurt freeze for about 5 more minutes, but here’s how it looked after 25 minutes.

3. Put strawberries into food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until they are pureed.

8. Let the yogurt freeze with the blade running for 25-30 minutes.
9. If you don’t eat all the frozen yogurt right away it can be frozen to eat later, but allow about 20 minutes at room temperature for the yogurt to soften after it comes out of the freezer.

Notes

I originally made this recipe with granulated Stevia, but now I'd use Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link); use the sweetener you prefer. Use reduced-fat or full-fat Greek Yogurt, whichever you prefer. 

I used a Cuisinart 1-1/2-Quart Ice Cream Maker (affiliate link) to make this frozen yogurt. You may need to adapt the recipe if you’re using a different size or make of ice cream freezer.
