Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup granola (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water and pat them dry completely with paper towels. Moisture will prevent the yogurt from adhering properly.
- Hull the strawberries by removing the green leafy top and stem. Use a small paring knife to carefully cut out the core, creating a clean, smooth surface.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and honey. Stir until the honey is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each strawberry completely in the yogurt mixture, ensuring an even and thick layer covers the entire fruit.
- Place the yogurt-coated strawberries on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Optional: If desired, sprinkle crushed granola over the yogurt-covered strawberries for added texture and crunch.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the strawberries freeze for approximately 1-2 hours, or until the yogurt coating is completely solid.
- Once frozen, transfer the strawberries to an airtight container or serve immediately. They are best consumed within 3-4 days when stored in the freezer.
Tips
- Choose the Right Strawberries: Opt for fresh, ripe strawberries that are firm and bright red for the best flavor and texture.
- Dry Thoroughly: Make sure to dry the strawberries completely after washing. Any moisture will prevent the yogurt from sticking properly.
- Customize Your Yogurt: Feel free to experiment with flavored Greek yogurt or add a splash of vanilla extract for an extra layer of taste.
- Don’t Rush the Freezing: Allow the strawberries to freeze for at least 1-2 hours to ensure the yogurt coating becomes solid and doesn’t melt too quickly when served.
- Serve Immediately or Store Wisely: Enjoy these treats straight from the freezer for the best experience, but if you're storing them, use an airtight container to maintain their texture for up to 3-4 days.
- Add a Fun Twist: Try drizzling melted dark chocolate over the yogurt-covered strawberries for a decadent touch or sprinkle with shredded coconut for added flavor.
