Ingredients
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and quartered
½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (or heavy cream, or a combination of both)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or honey/maple syrup, to taste)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)
2-3 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy, if needed for blending)
Fresh strawberry slices, for garnish
A sprig of fresh mint, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Begin by ensuring your strawberries are prepped. If using fresh strawberries, hull them and quarter any larger ones. If using frozen, there’s no need to thaw them completely; a slight thaw for a minute or two can help, but they are perfectly fine straight from the freezer for a thicker consistency.
Place the prepared strawberries, Greek yogurt (or heavy cream), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (if using) into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Start blending on a low speed, then gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible large chunks of strawberry. This should take approximately 60-90 seconds. If the mixture is too thick to blend easily, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a smooth, luscious consistency. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the mixture too thin.
Once smooth and frothy, immediately pour the strawberry dessert into two serving glasses or small bowls.
Garnish each serving with a few fresh strawberry slices arranged artfully on top. For an added touch of elegance and freshness, place a small sprig of fresh mint beside the strawberries.
Serve immediately and enjoy your incredibly delicious and lightning-fast strawberry dessert!
