Strawberry is my favorite ingredient not just because of flavor but because it brings back memories of picking berries with my grandmother every spring Every time I make these bites I think of sticky hands and the fresh scent of sun-warmed fruit
How to Store Your Bites
Once the bites are frozen and solid remove them from the tray and transfer to a zip-top bag or storage container and keep in the freezer They will stay fresh for up to two weeks For best texture let them sit at room temperature for two or three minutes before eating to slightly soften
Ingredient Swaps and Variations
Try using other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a twist or swap in vanilla yogurt for a creamy extra sweet touch If you are avoiding honey try pure maple syrup as a substitute You can even swirl in a bit of lemon zest for tang
Ways to Serve Strawberry Yogurt Bites
