The first time I made this I kept to the recipe but used non fat yogurt. It was too much yogurt and cream for me. Tasted more like plain frozen yogurt and milk than strawberries. I don't see how it's truly a frozen yogurt if there's half and half in it. I have since made it with just 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup non fat yogurt, no half and half and a bit of lemon squeezed in to taste. This makes it more like a healthy, fruit flavored frozen yogurt (see photo). Sometimes I use the vanilla, sometimes rum (for those that worry about kids eating it, vanilla extract is pure liquor, so if you use one, the other is a valid substitute). A tip: the purpose of vanilla extract or another liquor is to lower the freezing temp of ice cream. If you leave it out you will have a block of ice, rather than a scoopable dessert. Anyway, thanks for posting, this was a nice start for me in making non fat fro-yo.
