Strawberry Frozen Yogurt (Ninja Creami)

Step 1

Prep the strawberries: Add the small diced strawberries and sugar to an empty CREAMi™ pint container. Mash the strawberries a bit using a fork, and allow them to sit for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (This is macerating the strawberries; it helps to tenderize them and intensify their flavor.)

Step 2

Add salt and zest: Once the strawberries are somewhat jammy and no large chunks left behind, add in the salt and lemon zest. Stir.

Step 3

Add yogurt: Mix in the Greek yogurt, stirring well until combined.

Step 4

Freeze: Freeze the pint on a level surface in the freezer, with the lid off, for 24 hours. (Freezing with the lid on creates a hump at the top of the ice cream, which can damage the blade, so be sure to leave it off).

Step 5

Slightly defrost: I know, you’re ready for your frozen yogurt by now. But once you remove the pint from the freezer, allow it to sit on the counter for ~15-20 minutes. This will create a smoother frozen yogurt and be easier for the blades to process.

Step 6

Assemble: Finally, place it in the outer bowl, and lock the lid on top. Place the bowl assembly on the motor base, twist the handle right to raise the platform, and lock it in place.

Step 7

Spin it! Select Lite Ice Cream cycle. If it's still icy or some is stuck to the sides, scrape down the sides and run the Respin cycle 1x.

Step 8

Hardest step…enjoy!
