Preparation: Fruit Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker

Wash the strawberries, or other fruit of your choice, slice them thinly and put them in a bowl with the lemon juice.
Grate the lemon zest. Pour the yogurt into a bowl, add the zest and mix well.
Separate the egg white and set it aside.
Next, place the egg whites in a bowl and whisk them until stiff with a pinch of fine salt.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan heat 50 g (≈1/4 cup) sugar or 75 g (≈3/8 cup) erythritol or 15 g (≈1 tbsp) stevia in 25 g (≈2 tbsp) of water and let the syrup reach 121°C (250°F), then turn off the heat.
Pour the syrup over the firmly beaten egg whites little by little while the mixer is running.
When the egg whites are stiff and pasteurized, fold in the yogurt using a spatula.
At this point add the sliced strawberries or other fruit.
Pour the ice cream into a single container or into popsicle molds, and place in the freezer for about 6 hours.
Here is the fruit ice cream without an ice cream maker, ready to enjoy.
Wash the strawberries and other chosen fruit, cut them into thin slices or small pieces and put them in a bowl with the lemon juice.
Grate the lemon zest and collect the juice, which you will add to the fruit.
Separate the egg white and set it aside.
Beat the egg white to stiff peaks with the sugar or sweetener, and
with the butterfly for 4 minutes at 70°C (158°F), speed 3.5.
Remove the butterfly and transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the yogurt and fold from top to bottom to incorporate air; once the mixture is smooth and homogeneous, you can add the fruit.
