Ingredients & Substitutions

Ingredient List

• 12 ounces strawberry yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
• ½ cup raspberries
• ½ cup blackberries
• 2 tablespoons almond milk

Notes on Quality

For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh berries when they’re in season. Frozen berries will work in a pinch—just thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture. For the yogurt, you can use full-fat for extra creaminess or stick with low-fat to keep it lighter. Choose a yogurt with real fruit and minimal added sugar to keep the ingredients wholesome.

Possible Substitutions

• Use plain Greek yogurt and add a bit of honey or maple syrup if you want to control the sweetness.
• Swap blackberries for blueberries if that’s what you have on hand.
• Replace almond milk with oat milk, coconut milk, or even regular milk.
• If you’re dairy-free, look for a coconut-based or almond-based yogurt for the same creamy result.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl, mash the raspberries and blackberries with a fork until chunky but not fully pureed.
2. Add the strawberry yogurt and almond milk to the bowl and mix until everything is well combined.
3. Spoon the mixture into ice cube trays or silicone molds, filling each cavity nearly to the top.
4. Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until fully set and frozen solid.
5. Once frozen, pop them out of the trays and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Expert Tips & Tricks

Best Practices

• Use silicone molds for easier release.
• Stir gently so you keep some fruit texture instead of turning it into a smoothie.
• Freeze overnight if you’re planning to store them long-term—they keep better when fully solidified.

Common Mistakes

• Over-mashing the berries can result in too much liquid, making the bites icy instead of creamy.
• Skipping the airtight container—these can absorb freezer smells quickly, so transfer them once they’re frozen.

Time-Saving Tips

• Mash the berries ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to mix.
• Make a double batch and freeze in two trays so you always have extras.
• Use a measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring into molds.

Serving Suggestions

Pairings

These are perfect on their own but also great alongside:

• A bowl of granola for a crunchy parfait vibe
• A smoothie bowl topper
• Mini pancakes or waffles for a berry twist on breakfast

Presentation Ideas

Serve them in a chilled bowl at brunch or pop them into mini cupcake liners for a cute party treat. You can even thread them onto skewers for a frozen fruit kebab.

Beverage Pairings

Enjoy with:

• Iced herbal tea with lemon or mint
• A cold-pressed juice
• A sparkling water with a splash of berry syrup

Storage & Reheating

Leftover Storage

Once frozen, pop the bites out of the tray and store in an airtight container or freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months, but chances are they’ll be gone long before that.

Reheating Methods

These are meant to be eaten frozen, but you can let them sit out for a few minutes to soften if you prefer a creamier texture. Don’t microwave—they’ll just melt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Substitutions & Adjustments

Can I use different fruits?

Absolutely. Blueberries, chopped strawberries, or even diced mangoes are delicious in this recipe.

Can I use a different type of yogurt?

Yes! Any kind of yogurt works here—just avoid ones with high water content to keep them creamy.

Troubleshooting

Why are my yogurt bites icy?

You may have used too much almond milk or over-mashed the berries. Try draining the berries slightly before mixing.

Why are they hard to remove from the tray?

Let the tray sit at room temp for a minute or two or run the bottom under warm water to loosen them.

Variations & Customizations

Dietary Adaptations

• For a vegan version, use non-dairy yogurt and plant milk.

• Mix in a spoonful of nut butter for a richer, more indulgent bite.
