About This Recipe
What It Is
Frozen Yogurt Berry Bites are tiny clusters of creamy yogurt and vibrant mixed berries. The texture lands between ice cream bites and fruit pops, giving you a cold snap of freshness followed by a soft, tangy swirl of yogurt. They freeze quickly, store easily, and taste like a cool sunshine burst in every bite.
Why It Works
The natural creaminess of Greek yogurt creates a soft freeze without becoming icy. Adding just a little sweetener rounds out the tang while keeping the recipe nutrient balanced. Fresh berries bring antioxidants, color, and juicy pops of flavor. The combination freezes into adorable little clusters that you can enjoy straight from the freezer.
When To Make It
Summer afternoons, after school snacks, snack platters, post workout treats, brunch boards, and any moment you want a healthy frozen dessert that does not require turning on the oven.
Why You Will Love It

- Freezer friendly and perfect for meal prep
- High protein thanks to Greek yogurt
- Just a few ingredients and only a few minutes of hands on time
- Kid approved, adult loved, and endlessly customizable
Key Ingredients and Notes
Greek Yogurt
Full fat or low fat both work. Greek yogurt gives a thick, creamy texture that freezes beautifully. If you prefer dairy free, coconut yogurt is the closest match for texture. For anyone curious about the health benefits of probiotics in yogurt, Healthline provides a helpful overview of its digestion supporting properties.
Honey or Maple Syrup
A small amount balances the tang of yogurt. If you want a no added sugar version, use mashed very ripe banana. Maple syrup offers a slightly deeper sweetness, while honey stays clean and bright. Both dissolve easily.
Mixed Berries
Use fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries. Frozen berries can work but may release more moisture. Fresh berries give the most vibrant flavor and hold their shape in each bite. If you want guidance on berry storage or selection, The Spruce Eats has a helpful resource that explains how to keep berries fresher longer.
Optional Mini Chocolate Chips
For crunch and sweetness. You can replace chocolate chips with granola clusters, chopped almonds, shaved coconut, or tiny pieces of No Bake Peanut Butter Yogurt Cups from Flavor and Recipes if you enjoy mix and match frozen textures.
Silicone Mold or Mini Muffin Tin
A silicone mold makes popping out the bites incredibly easy. For muffin tins, parchment liners help avoid sticking.
How To Make Frozen Yogurt Berry Bites
- Prep the yogurt mixture
In a bowl, stir together 1 cup Greek yogurt (240 g) with 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (15 to 30 g). Mix until smooth and creamy. - Prepare your berries
Slice strawberries into small pieces. Leave blueberries and raspberries whole unless they are very large. You will need about 1 cup of berries total (150 g). - Fill the molds
Line a mini muffin tray or use silicone molds. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of yogurt mixture into each cavity. Spread lightly so it covers the bottom. - Add the berries
Sprinkle a few berry pieces into each cup. Press gently so they sink slightly into the yogurt. Add mini chocolate chips if using. - Top with more yogurt
Add another small amount of yogurt over the berries. You want each cavity filled but not overflowing. The top should be smooth with a few visible berry peaks for color. - Freeze
Freeze for 2 to 3 hours or until solid. Silicone molds may freeze faster. The bites should release easily with a gentle push from the bottom of the mold. - Serve
Enjoy immediately for the frostiest texture or let sit at room temperature for 2 minutes for a slightly softer creamy bite.
Pro Tips for Success
- Use full fat yogurt if you want a super creamy freeze.
- Chop berries smaller for kids or for a more evenly flavored bite.
- Freeze the bottom layer 10 minutes before adding the top layer to create perfect stripes.
- Always dry berries after washing so the yogurt does not freeze icy around the fruit.
- Use silicone molds for the cleanest release.
- Do not over sweeten. Frozen desserts taste slightly less sweet so aim for just enough balance.
- For an extra crunch moment, scatter crushed granola onto the top before freezing.
Variations and Substitutions
- Tropical twist: Use kiwi, mango, and pineapple.
- Chocolate swirl: Fold in one spoonful of cocoa powder. Consider serving these alongside Blender Chocolate Oat Bars from Flavor and Recipes for a frozen plus chewy dessert board.
- Protein boost: Add one spoonful of vanilla protein powder.
- Coconut berry bites: Mix shredded coconut into the yogurt base.
- Dairy free: Coconut yogurt or almond yogurt both work beautifully.
- Peach melba style: Use peaches and raspberries with a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Extra fruity: Add a ribbon of mashed berries between yogurt layers.
Serving and Storage
Refrigeration
These must remain frozen. If left in the fridge they will soften too much.
Freezing
Store frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Layer them with parchment paper to keep them from sticking.
Reheating
No reheating needed. Simply rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes before eating if you prefer a softer texture.
Shelf Life
Best within the first 3 weeks for the crispiest berry texture, though safe up to 2 months.
FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes. Regular yogurt works but will freeze slightly harder because it contains more water. Greek yogurt produces a creamier texture with less iciness. If you use regular yogurt, consider mixing in a teaspoon of nut butter to improve richness.
Can I make these without sweetener?
Absolutely. The natural sugars in berries may be sweet enough for your taste. If you want subtle extra sweetness without honey or maple syrup, use half a mashed banana which integrates smoothly and keeps the recipe refined sugar free.
Can I use frozen berries?
Frozen berries can work but they tend to release moisture when thawing. This may create small icy crystals in the yogurt. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them. Stir them into the yogurt immediately and freeze quickly so the cold temperature helps firm up the mixture.
Do these melt quickly once removed from the freezer?
They hold their shape for several minutes thanks to the thick yogurt base. To keep them perfect for party platters, place them on a chilled tray or store small batches in the freezer and refill as needed.
Can kids help make this recipe?
Yes. Kids love spooning yogurt into molds and scattering berries over the top. It is a mess friendly, heat free recipe that teaches basic kitchen skills. For another easy kid friendly treat, try the 3 Ingredient Banana Oat Cookies from Flavor and Recipes.
