Easy Strawberry Lassi (with cream!)

A South Asian favourite, reimagined! Unlike the more widely known mango lassi, this version is richer, creamier and wrapped in soft strawberry sweetness 🍓Creamy and undeniably indulgent, with a generous splash of heavy cream that sets it apart from other lassi recipes.

Equipment

blender or food processor

Ingredients

▢ 8.5 oz (240g) frozen strawberries - or the same quantity fresh
▢ ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
▢ ½ cup (120ml) milk - or more if you want it thinner
▢ 1 cup full-fat greek yoghurt - or other plain, thick yoghurt
▢ 3-4 tablespoons sugar - or to taste

Instructions

If you're using frozen strawberries, let them sit at room temp for about 30 minutes first, it’s just kinder on your blender.
8.5 oz (240g) frozen strawberries
Add everything to the blender except all the milk and all the sugar. Start with just half of each to control the texture and sweetness.
½ cup (120ml) heavy cream, ½ cup (120ml) milk, 1 cup full-fat greek yoghurt, 3-4 tablespoons sugar
Blitz until smooth and creamy. Taste, then adjust the sweetness or add more milk if needed. Blend again.
Pour into chilled glasses, pop in a straw, and enjoy straight away.

Notes

Other variations

Want a bolder strawberry flavour? Add a splash of strawberry syrup or a tiny drop of strawberry essence.

Swap the strawberries for mango to make a tropical mango lassi, easily the most beloved lassi variation around the world.

A pinch of ground cardamom adds warmth and depth.

For something more delicate, try a drop of rose water or rose syrup.

Garnish with a fresh mint leaf or perch a strawberry on the rim for a simple but pretty finish.

Add a few chopped pistachios on top for crunch and colour.
