There is nothing better than a cold, refreshing treat on a hot day! As the days get hotter and hotter, try making this frozen yogurt. Made with fresh strawberries and rhubarb, every bite begins sweet, and ends with a slightly tart flavor. The combination of these two flavors makes for a delicious treat!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sliced fresh rhubarb
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 2 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the rhubarb, sugar, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is soft (about 5-7 minutes). Cool the rhubarb slightly.
In a food processor, puree the rhubarb and strawberries.
Pour the puree into a large bowl. Add the yogurt and corn syrup. Mix until combined. Cover and freeze for 1-2 hours, or until very cold.
Freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker. Once frozen, scoop into a large container, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
Enjoy!
Makes about 5 servings of frozen yogurt.

I have never had rhubarb, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE frozen yogurt and strawberries- we’ll have to try this recipe sometime soon- looks delicious!!!
[…] In honor of my favorite fruit, I have decided to name June the month of strawberries! My Strawberry-Rhubarb Frozen Yogurt was the first Strawberry Month recipe, and this is the […]
Yum… can’t wait to try this one. My favorite pie in the world is strawberry rhubarb, so this will definitely be a treat!
It’s such a yummy combination! Hope you like it 🙂
What is the purpose of the light corn syrup? Is it a sweetner, used to help “smooth” the frozen yogurt? Can it be left out? Thoughts? I really want to try this recipe.
Also, I can’t have yogurt (dairy) is there a way to make this as a sorbet? Thoughts?
