Ingredients
Scale
Frozen Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 lemon zest
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (can be replaced with strawberries or blueberries)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much, to keep their shape and texture intact.
- Fill Molds: Using a spoon or spatula, fill silicone molds or an ice cube tray evenly with the yogurt and raspberry mixture.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully solid.
- Remove Bites: Once frozen, carefully remove the bites from the mold. If they stick, run warm water briefly over the mold’s exterior to loosen them.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately or store the frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Optional Variation: Experiment with substituting raspberries with strawberries or blueberries to create different fruity flavors.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup.
- You can use frozen berries if fresh are unavailable, but thaw and drain excess moisture before folding in.
- Ensure molds are silicone or easy-release for simple removal of frozen bites.
- Store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and preserve freshness.
- These bites make a great healthy snack or dessert alternative for warm weather.
