- Taste the mixture to check for sweetness. If required add some more.

- Pour the strawberry cheesecake mixture into a freezer friendly container .
- I like to use my loaf tin.
- Cover it with a foil.
- Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
- Take the frozen yogurt out of the freezer at least 15 -20 minutes before you need to serve. If you are in a hot place, then perhaps 10 minutes is enough.
- Scoop the strawberry cheesecake frozen yogurt into serving bowls.
- Top with graham cracker crumbs or add a cookie on the side.
- Serve.
- If you have an ice cream maker, add the blended mixture to the cold bowl and churn for 15-20 minutes. For soft serve you will need to churn for 15 minutes. For a firmer set you need more time.
- Best to follow the instructions given for you machine.
Notes
- If you find that the frozen yogurt has formed some water crystals, simply whisk it lightly with a hand blender or in the blender. Blend for a few seconds only as you don't want it to turn into a smoothie.
- As mentioned can use either fresh or frozen strawberries. If you want to freeze the strawberries at home, arrange them on a tray in a single layer. Freeze them. When frozen transfer them to a freezer friendly airtight container or a ziplock bag.
- Must remove the frozen yogurt from the freezer. Allow it to melt a bit at room temperature. For colder places it takes about 15-20 minutes. For warmer places 10 minutes.
