Instructions
At least 4 hours before making the frozen dessert, divide up 1 cup of yogurt in an ice cube tray and freeze (I like to have lots of frozen yogurt cubes ready all summer long). Also freeze fresh strawberries, unless using store bought frozen strawberries.
To high-speed blender with tamper or pronged twister lid (or food processor) add the frozen yogurt cubes, frozen strawberries, sweetener of choice, vanilla extract, and optional basil leaves. Add only a little sweetener at first, and add more if needed.
Turn on the blender or food processor and blend until everything is smoothly combined into creamy frozen yogurt. Use a tamper to keep pushing the ingredients into the blades. Or turn the lid of a twister jar. With a food processor you may have to stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula occasionally. The whole blending process should only take 1-2 minutes.
Your soft serve style strawberry frozen yogurt is ready to be enjoyed immediately. For a firmer texture, transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze the mixture for a while until it reaches your desired level.
