Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Slice the strawberries into small pieces. Toss in a bowl with the sugar and vodka or kirsch, if using, stirring until the sugar begins to dissolve. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour, stirring every so often.
Step 2
Purée the strawberries and their liquid with the yogurt and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until smooth. If you wish, press the mixture through a mesh strainer to remove any seeds.
Step 3
Refrigerate for 1 hour, then freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
