Strawberry Yogurt Dots

Strawberry yogurt dots are a simple, healthy, and fun snack made by freezing little drops of strawberry-flavored yogurt. They’re refreshing, lightly sweet, and perfect for a quick treat straight from the freezer. I love making these when I want something cool and bite-sized, especially for kids or as a post-meal snack.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how easy and mess-free this recipe is. With just two ingredients and a few minutes of prep time, I can make a freezer-friendly snack that’s both healthy and satisfying. They’re naturally sweet, customizable, and a great way to enjoy yogurt in a new way. Plus, they’re the perfect grab-and-go snack for hot days.

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Fresh strawberries
• Greek yogurt or regular yogurt (plain or vanilla work well)
• Optional: a touch of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness

directions

1. I wash and hull the strawberries, then blend them until smooth in a blender or food processor.
2. I mix the strawberry purée with the yogurt until fully combined. If I want it sweeter, I stir in a little honey or maple syrup.
3. I spoon the mixture into a piping bag or a plastic zip-top bag and snip off a small corner.
4. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, I pipe small dots of the mixture, spacing them slightly apart.
5. I place the tray in the freezer and let the dots freeze for at least 2 hours or until solid.
6. Once frozen, I transfer the dots into a freezer-safe container or bag for storage.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 40–50 yogurt dots, depending on the size. It takes just 10 minutes to prepare, plus 2 hours of freezing time. I can double or halve the recipe easily depending on how many I want to make.

Variations

Sometimes I mix in other fruits like blueberries, mango, or banana to change the flavor. I’ve also used flavored yogurt for extra variety, or added a sprinkle of granola on top before freezing for a little crunch. For a dairy-free version, I use coconut or almond milk yogurt.

storage/reheating

I keep the dots in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 2 weeks. They’re best eaten straight from the freezer, as they melt quickly once out. I don’t recommend reheating them—they’re meant to be enjoyed cold and frozen.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought strawberry yogurt?

Yes, I often use pre-flavored yogurt to save time. Just spoon and freeze—it’s that simple.

Do I need to use Greek yogurt?

Not at all. I’ve used both Greek and regular yogurt, and both work well. Greek yogurt gives a creamier texture, while regular yogurt is a bit lighter.

Can I make these without a blender?

Yes, if I mash the strawberries well with a fork, I can still mix them into the yogurt by hand. The texture will be a little chunkier but still tasty.

Are these safe for toddlers?

Yes, they’re a great snack for little ones as long as they can handle frozen textures. I just make sure to use a low-sugar yogurt.

How do I prevent them from sticking together?

I freeze the dots on a tray first, then transfer them into a container. That way, they stay separated and easy to grab.

Conclusion

Strawberry yogurt dots are one of my favorite healthy treats—quick, easy, and refreshing. I love how customizable they are and how they turn simple ingredients into a fun frozen snack. Whether I’m making a batch for myself or the kids, they always disappear fast from the freezer.
