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 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.”
And this EASY recipe for low-sugar frozen yogurt only has four ingredients! Check it out if you’re in need of a summer treat.
What ingredients do you need for this recipe?
(This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete 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 preserves did we use for Strawberry Frozen Yogurt?
A recipe that has fresh strawberries can’t ever be completely sugar-free, but if you use sugar-free strawberry preserves for this low-sugar frozen yogurt, that bumps up the flavor and keeps the sugar amount pretty low. I used Polaner Sugar-Free Strawberry Preserves (affiliate link) which also has a generous amount of fiber.
What sweetener did I use for Strawberry Frozen Yogurt?
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.
How low in carbs is this low-sugar frozen yogurt?
When I calculated nutritional information for this frozen yogurt made with sugar-free strawberry preserves, fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt, and Monkfruit Sweetener I was pleasantly surprised that this frozen yogurt had only about 12 net carbs per serving!
Want low-sugar frozen yogurt without artificial sweetener?
If you don’t want to use preserves that have artificial sweetener, look for ones labeled “all fruit” or “simply fruit.” That will only slightly increase the amount of carbs.
Tips for making Strawberry Frozen Yogurt:
(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)
- 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.
- I started with 2 cups of cleaned and washed strawberries, which I pureed in the food processor.
- 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.
- Then I added the 2 cups of Greek Yogurt and processed just enough to get it blended with the strawberry mixture.
- 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!)
- I probably should have let the frozen yogurt freeze for about 5 more minutes, but here’s how it looked after 25 minutes.

- 1/2 cup sugar-free Strawberry preserves
- 1/2 cup Monkfruit Sweetener or sweetener of your choice (see notes)
- 2 cups plain Greek Yogurt
Instructions
- For the ice cream maker I have, the container must be well-frozen before you mix the ice cream. Follow instructions for the model you have.
- Wash strawberries if needed; then cut away stem end and cut the strawberries into halves or fourths.
- Put strawberries into food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until they are pureed.
- Add sugar-free (or low-sugar) strawberry preserves and sweetener and process about 30 seconds more.
- The, add the Greek yogurt and process just until the mixture is fully combined.
- Put the container into the ice cream maker and sit the scraper blade in place.
- Put lid on and pour the strawberry-yogurt mixture in with the motor running.
- Let the yogurt freeze with the blade running for 25-30 minutes.
- 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.Â
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.

When it’s made with sugar-free strawberry preserves, and Monkfruit Sweetener or your favorite sweetener, this Strawberry Frozen Yogurt has about 12 net carbs in a serving. It could be a healthy treat for moderate low-carb diets, but probably not for Keto. It would also work for phase 2 or 3 of the original South Beach Diet. South Beach would prefer fat-free yogurt; other carb conscious diets might prefer full-fat yogurt.

I have a question about the sweetner. If I use splenda, is it the amount that equals 1/2 cup of sugar? Or 1/2 cup of splenda? Thanks so much! Really looking forward to making this in my new ice cream maker.
Hi Cindy,
As far as I know, almost every type of zero calorie sweetener measure 1:1 like sugar (so if you use 1/2 cup sugar you’d use 1/2 cup sweetener.) I originally made this with Stevia, but nowdays I’d use Monkfruit sweetener; use whatever type of sweetener you prefer.

Beth I love your ideas! And this recipe has been on my mind lately so I may have to try some of them.
I made this last night and it was great. I added chopped peppermint leaves (~ scant TBS) to make strawberry mint froyo. Other ideas I'd like to try are Strawberry Basil, Strawberry Almond (add some almond extract), Strawberry Pecan (with chopped pecans). Now that I know the base recipe I'll be trying other flavors with fruits and different Polaners. Thanks Kayln!
Lorraine, hope you enjoy!
I am making your recipe right now. I have a few more minutes to go in the yogurt maker but I sampled and it is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing.
I did not have a food processor but my blender worked just fine.
Thanks so much,
Lorraine
I have the same machine and have been saying I need to find a good frozen yogurt recipe to try (again). This looks really good sooooo I will be trying this one over the weekend. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Barbara; we loved it!
Love the gorgeous color. Great idea to bump up the flavor with strawberry jam.
Eleni, I don't know how well it would work with the super-fine Stevia, since I'm guessing the granulated stevia adds some structure to the frozen yogurt. Anyway, I have never cooked with that type of Stevia so I have no idea how much would compare to the granulated type.
Hi Kalyn! This looks gorgeous! I just purchased my first ice cream maker today and can't wait to try it. Can I ask how much fine powder stevia you would use? I'm thinking it's not the same as the granulated type, since it would need much less than 1/2 cup.
Many thanks!
Eleni
Thanks everyone for the nice feedback about this recipe!
Kelly, isn't it amazing how those things end up in your cart at Costco?
Cracking up over your first line. I get it! I LOVE my Cuisinart ice cream maker and am on our second model because I burned out the first one. Love this recipe — have some chopped strawberries in the freezer just waiting. Gotta plug in my machine 🙂
Love this idea! Finally have a reason to use the ice cream maker I got as a house warming (re)gift.
We have the Cuisinart ice cream maker. We have really enjoyed it over the years. Keep experimenting!
The frozen yogurt sounds delightful.
Velva
Thanks everyone. I love the Fage fat-free Greek yogurt as well, and it was great in this. I remember when frozen yogurt was plentiful too; not sure why it is not so abundant now.
Hooray for frozen yogurt! I miss the variety of frozen yogurts that proliferated in the 90s (why aren't there any in the store now??), so I'll definitely be trying this one soon.
I'm a Fage addict, and I've been wondering for a long time whether it would make a decent frozen yogurt. I was never brave enough to try, but now I will most definitely be making some!!
I want a scoop!
Great idea. I will be making some too. I have an ice cream maker but it's an oldie. I may just run out and buy one. Your yogurt looks great and thanks for the recipe. Excellent.
Such a great and simple recipe, thanks!
Thanks Carolyn; glad it will work for you!
Emily, you can probably get a pretty good result using the method I used in this mango sorbet made without an ice cream freezer but I had not tried it that way so I didn't think I should include it with the recipe. (Love to know how it works if you try it!)
Hi Kalyn,
This looks delicious. What can you do if you don't have an ice cream maker?
This frozen yogurt sounds GREAT, Kalyn. With my Type 1 diabetic husband, this would be relatively good for him – the fruit is still carbs, and so is the yogurt, but nothing like the real stuff! Thank you.
Joanne, Lydia, and Dara, I really loved this. I made a second batch and froze it in small containers for a mid-day treat!
I can see why E & M liked this so much. It looks so darn good! I can't wait to see what other flavors you come up with.
I've been playing around with Greek yogurt frozen yogurt, too, but haven't yet come up with a version I really like. Now I'm going to try this one, especially if it's kid-approved!
My first experience with my Cuisinart was also subpar at best, but now we are BFF's! And seeing this delicious froyo…it seems like you and yours are as well. 🙂
