Strawberry Maple Freeze

Strawberry Maple Freeze

2 C. fresh strawberries (can work with other fruits as well)
3 T. fruit-juice-sweetened berry preserves
1 C. Yogurt Cheese
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 to 2 T. maple syrup

Combine the berries and preserves in a blender or food processor and puree.
Pour into a bowl and beat in the Yogurt Cheese, vanilla and maple syrup until evenly combined. The amount of maple syrup needed will depend on the sweetness of the berries and individual taste; begin with 1 T. and taste and adjust if needed. Transfer the mixture to a shallow metal pan or freezer container. Cover with foil. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours, until firm. Break the mixture into chunks and return it to the food processor. Process until smooth. This may require a little stopping and scraping the sides until the frozen Yogurt Cheese begins to soften. Continue until the mixture is the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. At this point you can eat the frozen Yogurt Cheese or return it to a freezer container and freeze solid. If frozen, let sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
