Step-by-step overview

Creating these Strawberry Greek Yogurt Bites is a delightful experience, as the process combines a few very simple steps. You start with fresh strawberries, follow through with a quick puree, and end up creating a smooth yogurt mix that will chill beautifully in the freezer.

What you’ll need

To make these delicious Strawberry Greek Yogurt Bites, gather the following ingredients:

• 5 large strawberries, washed and cut (leaves removed)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 cup Greek yogurt

Feel free to experiment with substitutions like agave nectar for honey or any other berries if you want to diversify the flavors.

Directions to follow

1. Begin by washing the strawberries thoroughly and removing the leaves. Cut them into halves or quarters for easier blending.
2. In a food processor, blend the strawberries and honey together until a smooth purée forms (about 30 seconds). Make sure to set aside 1/4 cup of this purée for the recipe.
3. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt with the reserved 1/4 cup strawberry purée. Stir until the blend is evenly mixed and – voilà – you should have a lovely light pink color.
4. Prepare a piping bag (or use a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off) to fill it with the yogurt mixture. Pipe small 1-inch dollops onto a parchment-lined sheet pan.
5. Freeze the bites for about 1 hour or until they are firm.
6. Serve straight from the freezer to enjoy a cool, refreshing treat!
