How to make it
- Hull the strawberries and slice them, then toss with the sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest in a bowl and let them macerate at room temperature for about 20 minutes until the fruit releases its juices.
- Tip the macerated strawberries and all their syrup into a blender, add the vanilla and a small pinch of salt, and blend until completely smooth.
- Push the puree through a fine sieve into a clean bowl to remove the seeds, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much as possible.
- Whisk the Greek yogurt and the orange liqueur into the strained puree until the mixture is uniform and silky, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Pour the cold mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20 to 25 minutes until it thickens to a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the frozen yogurt to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, press parchment against the surface and freeze for 2 to 3 hours until firm enough to scoop.
- Let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly before scooping and serving.
