Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, medium-sized, ripe but firm, washed and dried thoroughly
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional toppings)
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries gently under cold water and pat dry very well with a clean towel. Leave the green leafy tops on for easy handling or remove if preferred.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if needed.
- If using chopped nuts or sprinkles, place them in small shallow dishes for easy dipping later.
- Using a spoon or toothpick, dip each strawberry into the yogurt mixture, coating evenly but not too thickly. Let excess yogurt drip off before placing the berry on a lined baking sheet.
- Optionally, roll or sprinkle the coated strawberry in your choice of toppings immediately after dipping.
- Place the tray flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours until the yogurt is completely set and firm to the touch.
- Remove the frozen yogurt-dipped strawberry bites carefully and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days.
Notes
Dry strawberries thoroughly before dipping to prevent icy clumps. Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier coating. Keep yogurt layer thin to avoid cracking. Freeze for at least 2 hours but not more than 3 hours for best texture. Optional toppings add fun texture and visual appeal. Can substitute dairy-free yogurt for dairy-sensitive diets.
