Step 4- Add strawberries into an airtight container. Place into freezer for 2 days. You can do this step ahead of time.

Making the frozen yogurt
Note- Make sure you place the base of your ice cream maker into freezer for 24 hours before making your ice cream or frozen yogurt.

To ensure all ingredients are mixed properly, Step 10 will involve mixing the yogurt and strawberry sauce in a bowl first, before adding the mixture into the ice cream maker.
