Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups yogurt (any flavor)
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1/2 cup assorted berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries)
- Silicone molds
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 2 cups of yogurt (any flavor), 1/2 cup of granola, 1/2 cup of assorted berries (such as strawberries and blueberries), and silicone molds.
- Prepare your workspace by ensuring that your silicone molds are clean and dry. Place them on a flat surface, such as a baking sheet, to make it easier to transport them to the freezer later.
- In a mixing bowl, pour in the 2 cups of yogurt. If you are using plain yogurt, consider adding a little honey or sweetener to taste for extra flavor.
- Using a spoon or spatula, gently fold in the 1/2 cup of granola into the yogurt until well combined. Be careful not to crush the granola too much; you want to maintain some texture.
- Take your assorted berries and wash them thoroughly. If you are using strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces for easier distribution in the yogurt mixture.
- Once the granola is mixed in, add the berries to the yogurt mixture. Gently fold them in, ensuring an even distribution of berries throughout the yogurt.
- Using a spoon, carefully fill each cavity of the silicone molds with the yogurt mixture. Leave a little space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- Once all the molds are filled, gently tap the baking sheet on the counter to remove any air bubbles and ensure an even surface.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 2-4 hours, or until completely solid.
- After the yogurt bites are fully frozen, remove them from the silicone molds by gently pushing from the bottom of each cavity. If they are difficult to remove, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
- Serve the butterfly frozen yogurt bites immediately as a refreshing snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
Tips
- Yogurt Selection: Choose a thick, creamy yogurt for best results. Greek yogurt works wonderfully and provides extra protein.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different yogurt flavors and berry combinations to keep things exciting.
- Granola Crunch: For maximum texture, use fresh, high-quality granola and avoid over-mixing to maintain its crispness.
- Freezing Hack: Use a baking sheet under your silicone molds to prevent spills and make transportation to the freezer easier.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the yogurt bites sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for the perfect soft-yet-frozen texture.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: These can be prepared in advance and stored for up to two weeks, making them perfect for meal prep or unexpected guests.
- Kid-Friendly Tip: Get children involved in the preparation process - they'll love choosing berry combinations and filling the molds!
