If your kids love yogurt and fruit, they’re in for a real treat with this easy recipe that calls for only three ingredients! And, what makes these treats even more amazing is that they’re a healthy treat that’s easy to grab while you’re on the run!
Makes: 1 cup yogurt ice cream or yogurt bites
Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) container vanilla yogurt
½ cup frozen blueberries
½ cup frozen raspberries
Method:
1. In an electric blender at high speed, blend together yogurt and frozen fruit until mixture is smooth and the consistency is of soft ice cream.
2. Scoop the yogurt/berry blend 1 teaspoon at a time into dots on parchment paper or Silpat and flatten lightly with a spoon or finger.
3. Flash-freeze yogurt dots in freezer until frozen, approximately 10 minutes.
4. Place in a container and keep in freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Treat Tips from the Chef!
Even though I use blueberries and raspberries, feel free to use whatever kind of fruit you and your kids like. And, if you do use these berries, you can either blend them together to create one purple color or blend the colors separately to have purple dots and red dots. Rather than forming the yogurt mixture into dots, you can even just place it in a small bowl and eat it like ice cream! It’s delicious, quick, and healthy!
