Frozen Yogurt Bites Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup yogurt (Greek or regular, full-fat or low-fat, dairy or non-dairy)
Toppings:
- 1/4 cup diced strawberries
- 1/4 cup small blueberries
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1/4 cup nuts
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Equipment:
- 1 small sheet pan or tray
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 plastic bag (for piping) or 1 spoon or 1 squeeze bottle
Instructions
- Gather a parchment-lined tray that fits easily inside your freezer, ensuring a smooth freezing process.
- Select a piping bag or resealable plastic bag and fill it with your preferred yogurt variety, creating a convenient dispensing method.
- Cut a small corner of the bag if using a plastic bag, allowing precise and controlled yogurt placement.
- Carefully pipe small, uniform dollops of yogurt onto the parchment paper, maintaining consistent spacing between each bite to prevent merging.
- Quickly enhance the yogurt drops by sprinkling selected toppings, gently pressing them into the surface to secure their placement.
- Strategically position the tray in the freezer, creating an environment that allows uniform freezing of the yogurt bites.
- Allow the yogurt bites to solidify completely, which typically requires 2-3 hours or an overnight resting period in the freezer.
- Optional: Loosely cover the tray with aluminum foil to protect the bites from potential freezer odors or ice crystals.
- Once fully frozen, delicately remove the yogurt bites from the parchment paper using a thin spatula or clean hands.
- Transfer the frozen bites to a sealed freezer-safe container or resealable bag for convenient storage and future enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose yogurt with thick consistency for better structure and less melting during freezing.
- Experiment with Greek yogurt for higher protein content and creamier texture.
- Keep toppings small and lightweight to prevent sinking into yogurt during freezing.
- Use silicone molds as alternative to parchment paper for perfectly shaped bites.
- Consider non-dairy yogurt alternatives for vegan or lactose-intolerant dietary needs.
- Opt for low-sugar yogurt and fresh fruit toppings for healthier snack option.
- Create variety by mixing different yogurt flavors and complementary toppings like granola, nuts, or chia seeds.
- Remove bites from freezer 2-3 minutes before serving for optimal texture and easier eating.
