Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups / 473 ml fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 cup / 237 ml Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 2 tbsps / 30 ml honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp / 5 ml lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Fruit Preparation: Meticulously cleanse strawberries, eliminating stems and ensuring pristine condition for blending.
- Blending Process: Combine strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice in a high-powered blender, pulsing until achieving a silky-smooth, homogeneous texture.
- Portioning Technique: Select your preferred serving method – pipe uniform rounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, distribute into silicone muffin cups, or utilize an ice cube tray for structured portions.
- Freezing Strategy: Position the prepared tray or molds in the freezer, allowing treats to solidify completely over 2-3 hours until firm yet scoopable.
- Serving Recommendations: For optimal enjoyment, extract treats 5-10 minutes prior to serving, enabling a slightly softened consistency. Alternatively, consume immediately for a luscious soft-serve experience.
- Storage Protocol: Preserve any remaining frozen yogurt bites within an airtight container, extending their delectable potential for future indulgence.
Notes
- Strawberry Selection: Choose ripe, vibrant red strawberries for maximum sweetness and intense flavor profile.
- Blending Technique: Pulse ingredients gradually to avoid over-processing, maintaining smooth yet slightly textured consistency.
- Freezing Precision: Allow treats to partially thaw before serving for optimal creamy texture, preventing rock-hard frozen state.
- Dietary Adaptations: Substitute honey with maple syrup for vegan version or use low-fat yogurt for reduced-calorie alternative.
