• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 1⁄3 cups fresh strawberries, cleaned with tops trimmed off
• 2⁄3 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons vodka
• 2 1⁄2 cups Greek yogurt (approx 500g) or 2 1/2 cups plain yogurt, strained for 5 minutes with a cheesecloth
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 2 large egg whites, room temperature

directions

1. In the bowl of a food processor, puree strawberries, sugar and vodka until mixture is very smooth.
2. In a large bowl, whisk berry mixture into greek yogurt (you may strain plain yogurt for about 5 minutes with a fine sieve or cheesecloth if you cannot find greek yogurt in your area to achieve a similar consistency).
3. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until eggs reach soft peaks. Fold into strawberry yogurt mixture.
4. Pour everything into an ice cream maker and mix according to manufacturers’ directions. When yogurt has set up, you can serve it immediately or store it in a freezer-safe container, if you are not going to eat it right away.
