Lemon-Raspberry Frozen Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These Lemon-Raspberry Frozen Yogurt Bites are a refreshing and tangy treat that’s perfect for warm days. Combining creamy yogurt with zesty lemon and sweet raspberries, they make a healthy snack that’s easy to enjoy anytime.

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
• 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
• 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract if using. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, gently mash the raspberries with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
3. Step 3: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or spray it with non-stick spray.
4. Step 4: Spoon a small amount of the yogurt mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about halfway.
5. Step 5: Drop a few pieces of the mashed raspberries into each cup.
6. Step 6: Top the raspberries with more yogurt mixture until each cup is almost full.
7. Step 7: Place the muffin tin in the freezer and freeze for 2 to 3 hours, or until the bites are completely solid.
8. Step 8: Once frozen, remove the yogurt bites from the tin, peeling off paper liners if used. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond yogurt and substitute honey with maple syrup.
• Try adding finely chopped fresh mint or basil to the yogurt mixture for a refreshing twist.
• If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the raspberries instead of mashing them.
• Use silicone molds instead of a muffin tin for fun shapes and easier removal.

Storage

Store the frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To serve, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to bite into.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess liquid in the bites.

How do I prevent the yogurt bites from sticking to the liners?

Using non-stick spray on the muffin tin or opting for silicone molds helps prevent sticking. Also, letting the bites soften for a minute or two before removing can make peeling easier.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
2. Prepare the Raspberries: In a separate bowl, gently mash the raspberries with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture to add a pleasant bite to the frozen treats.
3. Assemble the Bites: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray. Spoon a small amount of the yogurt mixture into each cup, filling them about halfway. Drop a few pieces of the mashed raspberries into each cup, then top with more yogurt mixture until almost full.
4. Freeze: Place the muffin tin in the freezer. Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until the yogurt bites are completely solid.
5. Serve: Once frozen, remove the yogurt bites from the muffin tin. If using paper liners, peel them away. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

• For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use a plant-based yogurt.
• You can use frozen raspberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the bites.
• Paper liners make removal easier, but spraying the muffin tin with non-stick spray works as well.
• Store the frozen bites in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness for up to two weeks.
• These bites are best enjoyed straight from the freezer to maintain their firm texture.
