ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Fresh strawberries (or frozen and thawed)
-
Plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
-
Whipped topping (like coconut whipped topping or a light non-dairy whip)
directions
-
I start by blending the strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth and puree-like.
-
In a mixing bowl, I combine the strawberry puree with the Greek yogurt until fully mixed.
-
I gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is fluffy and evenly combined.
-
I pour the mixture into a lined loaf pan or springform pan and smooth out the top.
-
I freeze the cake for at least 4 hours or until firm enough to slice.
-
Before serving, I let it sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes to soften slightly for easy slicing.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 6–8 servings, depending on how thick I slice it. It takes just 10 minutes to prepare, plus about 4 hours of freezing time.
Variations
Sometimes I swirl in mashed raspberries or a handful of finely chopped fruit for added texture. I’ve also tried using flavored yogurt for a slightly different taste. For a chocolate-strawberry twist, I sprinkle a few cacao nibs on top before freezing.
storage/reheating
I keep the cake stored in the freezer, tightly wrapped or covered, for up to one week. I slice what I need and let it sit briefly before serving. Since it’s a frozen dessert, there’s no reheating—just soften and enjoy.
FAQs
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, I’ve used frozen strawberries many times. I just make sure to thaw them first and drain any excess liquid before blending.
What type of yogurt works best?
I use plain Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein, but non-dairy yogurts like coconut or almond-based ones work great too.
Is this dessert very sweet?
It’s naturally sweet from the strawberries and whipped topping. If I want it sweeter, I sometimes add a small splash of maple syrup or a few dates blended with the berries.
Can I make this in individual portions?
Absolutely. I’ve spooned the mixture into silicone muffin molds or ramekins and frozen them for easy, portioned desserts.
Can I refreeze leftovers?
Yes, since it’s stored in the freezer, any leftovers go right back in without a problem. I just wrap them well to avoid freezer burn.
