Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 8 large fresh strawberries
Yogurt Coating
- 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (240 g)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare baking surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy clean-up.
- Prepare strawberries: Wash and pat dry the strawberries thoroughly. Slice each strawberry in half lengthwise to create half-circle shapes.
- Combine yogurt coating: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Dip strawberries: Hold each strawberry half by the cut side and dip the rounded side halfway into the yogurt mixture. Allow any excess yogurt to drip off to avoid clumps.
- Arrange dipped fruit: Place the yogurt-coated strawberry halves, cut side down, onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Add optional garnishes: Immediately sprinkle the coated side with your choice of finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or mini dark chocolate chips for texture and extra flavor.
- Freeze the baking sheet: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the yogurt coating is firm and set.
- Serve or store: Enjoy these cold as a refreshing treat right away, or transfer them to an airtight container and keep frozen until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter coating, adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
- You can substitute toppings to cater to your preferences or dietary needs.
- Store the finished strawberries in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
- Allow frozen strawberries to thaw for a few minutes before eating if you prefer a softer texture.
