Ingredients:
1 freezer bag, quart size
2/3 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened strawberries
2/3 cup sugar
1 1.3-oz. envelope whipped-topping mix
1 cup low-fat milk
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
Preparation:
Put strawberries and sugar in the freezer bag and zip closed, pressing out excess air. Mash strawberries and sugar together in the bag. Add whipped-topping mix and milk; zip bag, then squeeze mix. Add yogurt to mixture in bag; seal bag, then squeeze mixture until well blended.
Place in freezer to harden (about 2 to 4 hours). After 2 hours, remove bag from freezer. Squeeze mixture to make texture creamier. Eat at soft-serve consistency, or return to freezer. Makes 1 quart.
Chef's Notes: - For faster freezing, place sealed quart-size freezer bag containing yogurt mixture into a gallon-size freezer bag. Add 3 cups of ice and 1/4 cup rock salt to bag, then remove air while zipping bag. Place both sealed bags inside another gallon-size freezer bag. Toss sealed bags back and forth with a friend for 20 minutes. Ice will melt quickly , so add more if needed. Wear gloves. If firmer texture than soft-serve yogurt is desired, place the quart-size bag in the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes after tossing.
- To mash fresh fruit for recipe mixtures or toppings, put fruit in freezer bag, remove excess air and zip closed. Mash, squeeze or knead to soften fruit.
- To crumble cookies or candy for recipe mixtures or toppings, put in freezer bag, remove excess air and zip closed. Use a rolling pin to crush cookies or candy.
- To support freezer bag upright while adding ingredients, turn zipper back to form a "cuff." Stand bag in a small bowl.
