Recipe


Ingredients


  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

  • ½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)


Instructions


  1. Prepare the mixture: Combine the Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup in a bowl, stirring until fully mixed.


  2. Add the berries: Gently fold in the fresh berries. If using larger berries like strawberries, chop them into small pieces to ensure even distribution.


  3. Portion the bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet. For a cleaner look, use a piping bag with a snipped corner.


  4. Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, until fully set.


  5. Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the bites from the tray and store them in an airtight container in the freezer.


    They make a refreshing snack straight from the freezer! These bites will last up to 3 months.

Why You’ll Love These Frozen Yogurt Bites


  • Only 3 ingredients: Simple, wholesome, and easy to make.

  • Ideal for hot weather: A refreshing way to cool down on warm days, making them a great choice for summer.

  • Customizable: You can vary the fruits or even add other toppings to suit your taste.

  • Meal prep friendly: Prepare a batch ahead of time for quick snacks during the week.


Ingredients


  • Greek yogurt: Choose either plain or your favorite flavored yogurt for a creamy, protein-packed base. Full-fat Greek yogurt yields ultra-creamy bites, while non-dairy alternatives are available for vegan options.

  • Honey or maple syrup: This optional ingredient adds sweetness tailored to your taste. Honey provides a floral note, while maple syrup adds a rich, earthy flavor. Skip if your yogurt is already sweetened.


  • Fresh berries: Use strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. You can also use frozen berries, but they must be thawed and dried, first.


Fun Variations on Frozen Yogurt Bites


Play around and use different ingredients to take these into different flavor directions. Here are a few we love:


  • Dairy-free: Use coconut or almond milk yogurt for a non-dairy option.

  • Different sweeteners: Swap honey or maple syrup for agave syrup or stevia.

  • Fruit Swaps: Try diced mango, kiwi, or peaches for variety.

  • Chocolate lovers: Mix in mini chocolate chips or drizzle with melted dark chocolate after freezing.

  • Nutty crunch: Add chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios for extra texture.

  • Peanut butter: Mix a tablespoon of silky peanut butter with the yogurt for extra protein and good fats.


Tips & Tricks


If this is your first time making these little frozen yogurt bites, here are our secrets to a delicious result:

  • Use a silicone mold: For perfectly shaped bites, pour the mixture into silicone molds before freezing.

  • Prevent sticking: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the bites from sticking.

  • Smaller portions freeze faster: Keep the bites small and uniform so they freeze evenly.

  • Let them soften slightly: Frozen yogurt bites can be very firm straight from the freezer. Let them sit for 1–2 minutes before eating for the best texture.


5 Common Mistakes when Making this Frozen Yogurt Bites


Steer clear of these typical trip-ups:

  • Using too much liquid sweetener: Too much honey or syrup can make the yogurt runny and will stop or prevent proper freezing.

  • Skipping the parchment paper: The bites might stick to the tray without parchment paper and be difficult to remove.

  • Overloading with fruit: Adding too many berries can create extra moisture, making the bites icy instead of creamy.

  • Not freezing long enough: The bites need at least 2 hours to set fully. Rushing this step will leave them too soft.

  • Improper storage: Storing the bites in an uncovered container can cause freezer burn. Use an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.


FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but Greek yogurt gives a thicker consistency. If using regular yogurt, the bites might be softer and slightly icier.


How long do these last in the freezer?

Frozen yogurt bites stay fresh for up to 2 months when stored in an airtight container.


Can I make these with frozen fruit?

Yes, but thaw and pat dry frozen fruit first to avoid extra moisture making the yogurt watery.


Do these melt quickly?

Yes! Since they’re made with yogurt, they start to soften within a few minutes at room temperature. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for the best texture.
