Strawberry-Mango Frozen Yogurt
strawberry-mango frozen yogurt

I had some yogurt that I needed to use up so I thought I'd make some frozen yogurt. I had to pick up a couple things from Trader Joe's so I looked for some flavor inspiration while I was there. I found a bag of frozen mango pieces that was pretty cheap so I stuck that in my basket. But then, as I was standing in the checkout line I saw a display of fresh organic strawberries on sale that I just couldn't pass up.

After straining my yogurt overnight I was left with about a cup. Not sure how much sugar I should add to it, I looked up the frozen yogurt recipe on 101 cookbooks. The recipe (which originally came from The Perfect Scoop) has a 4:1 ratio of strained yogurt to sugar, so that's what I used. I also added a bit of sugar to the diced strawberries to bring out the juices.

I really like the strawberry and mango flavors together. I would still like to try this with only mango though.

1 cup strained, plain yogurt (I used my homemade fat free yogurt)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup diced strawberries
1/4 cup diced mango

Stir the sugar into the yogurt. In a separate bowl place diced strawberries. Sprinkle with some sugar, about 1 tsp, and let sit for a few minutes. Add the strawberries and mango to the yogurt and freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups. This can easily be doubled or tripled.
