Storage/Reheating
I store these frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. I separate the layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. Before serving, I let them sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes so the yogurt softens slightly. I do not reheat these treats since they are meant to be enjoyed frozen.
FAQs
Can I use frozen strawberries?
I prefer fresh strawberries because the yogurt sticks to them better and they maintain a firmer texture after freezing.
Which yogurt works best?
I like using Greek yogurt because it is thick and creamy, making it easier to coat the strawberries evenly.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes. I simply use a dairy-free yogurt and dairy-free chocolate to create a completely dairy-free version.
Why should I dry the strawberries completely?
I make sure the strawberries are dry so the yogurt adheres properly and freezes into a smooth coating.
How long can I keep these in the freezer?
I store them in an airtight container for up to 2 months while maintaining their best flavor and texture.
