It’s that time of year again to dust off the ice cream maker and whip up something delicious with strawberries, kiwi, and lime. Strawberries are a staple in our house—my son loves them the most! I’m always looking for new ways to use them, whether it’s in healthy strawberry yogurt pops or homemade strawberry cupcakes, since we almost always have them on hand in the fridge or freezer.
The inspiration for this frozen yogurt came from watching the Food Network. I took a simple strawberry yogurt recipe and made it my own by adding kiwi and lime, which gave it a fresh, tangy twist. The result was a light and refreshing treat—perfect after a heavy meal.
If you decide to try this recipe, be sure to taste the purée and adjust for sweetness. I love sour flavors, but my first taste of the purée was tart, so I added honey to balance it out. If I had fresh mint or basil on hand, I would have added it while the fruit was macerating to bring even more depth and flavor to the mix.
Strawberry Kiwi & Lime Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
3 kiwis peeled and chopped
1 lime zested and juiced
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 cup of Greek-style plain yogurt
Directions:
Using the Cuisinart Automatic 1.5 Qt Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker
Step 1: Prepare the Freezer Bowl. Ensure the freezer bowl is completely frozen (freeze for at least 12-24 hours before use).
Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients. Wash and chop the strawberries. Peel and chop the kiwis. Zest and juice the lime.
Step 3: In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, kiwis, lime zest, lime juice, granulated sugar, and honey. Blend until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt and blend again until fully mixed and creamy.
Step 4: Churn in the Cuisinart Machine. Place the frozen freezer bowl into the Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker. Turn the machine on and slowly pour the chilled mixture into the bowl. Let it churn for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a thick, soft-serve consistency.
Step 5: Freeze for a Firmer Texture (Optional) Transfer the frozen yogurt to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.
Serve & Enjoy
Scoop into bowls or cones and serve with fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, kiwi, or cantaloupe.
Makes: 1 quart. Enjoy your homemade frozen yogurt! 🍓🥝🍋

Oh I will be making this recipe over the Summer, that’s for sure;-)
it so easy to do Patty you will love it.
I think I will be using this recipe a lot. I’ve been trying to make my kids eat kiwi but to no success. Hidden with strawberries should do the trick. This is rich in Vitamin C! Thanks for sharing!
Yes Ro, the kiwi is even more hidden because of the straining of the seeds, so they will never know!
I love strawberry & kiwi together, this looks so refreshing!
I know right, I love the two together and the lime just adds extra zing.
Love the yogurt – strawberries and kiwi’s go so well together!
I am horrible with awards! I have been given like 3 of them in the last month, but forgot who gave them to me, so I can’t thank them or claim them 🙁
I am too Erin as you can see. Glad you liked the yogurt hope you get to try it out.
argh! i don’t have an ice cream machine! but perhaps i can make frozen popsicles??
Jen, you seriously need to invest in a ice-cream machine, they are the best. But popsicles works too.
I just froze the ice cream maker after making strawberry ice cream. Next time I should try frozen yogurt. I don’t know why I haven’t tried yet (I bougth the ice cream maker at the end of last summer – finally!). Looks really delicious. It’s been hot in SF Bay Area, so this will be very nice!
Yes, you should Nami, I think your kids might like it.
