TIPS
These tips can help you make a better Frozen Yoghurt Drops:
- Use A Silicone Mat: Piping onto a silicone mat helps the drops release easily once they are frozen.
- Uniform Size: Keep drops small and even for faster freezing and better portion control.
- Chill Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture before piping for cleaner, more defined dots.
- Try Freezer Tray: Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray for slightly larger portions.
- Double Batch: Make extra and freeze for grab-and-go snacks.
VARIATIONS
- Berry Mix: Replace strawberries with blended raspberries or blueberries.
- Yoghurt Flavour: Use vanilla Greek yoghurt for added flavour without the need for additional sweeteners.
- Toppings: Before freezing, sprinkle drops with crushed nuts, chia seeds or shredded coconut.
- Vegan Option: Substitute Greek yoghurt with a plant-based coconut or almond yoghurt.
- No Sweetener: Omit honey for a purely fruit-sweetened version, ideal for toddlers.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Not recommended for refrigeration, as drops will lose shape and melt.
- Freezing: Store drops in an airtight freezer-safe container or zip-lock bag for up to 2 weeks.
- Separation: Use parchment or baking paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Serving: Serve directly from the freezer to maintain texture and chill.
