FAQs
1. What kind of yoghurt works best for this recipe?
Natural yoghurt works great, but you can use any kind of yoghurt including Greek, flavored, or dairy-free options.
2. Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit, but it may release more water during freezing which can slightly alter the texture.
3. How do I stop the bites from sticking to the cases?
Using silicone muffin cups is ideal as they peel off easily. If using paper cases, try lightly spraying them with non-stick spray.
4. Are these suitable for toddlers?
Yes, they’re a great snack for toddlers—just be sure to cut fruit into safe sizes depending on the child’s age.
5. Can I sweeten the yoghurt?
Absolutely. Stir in a bit of honey or maple syrup before spooning the yoghurt into the cups if you prefer a sweeter bite.
6. How long do they need to freeze?
Typically, 2 hours is enough to fully freeze the bites, but this can vary slightly based on your freezer settings.
7. Can I make these with Greek yoghurt?
Yes, Greek yoghurt gives a creamier texture and adds extra protein.
8. Do they melt quickly once out of the freezer?
They will begin to soften after about 10–15 minutes at room temperature, so it’s best to eat them soon after serving.
9. Can I mix the fruit into the yoghurt instead?
Yes, you can mix chopped fruit into the yoghurt before spooning it into the cups if you prefer a more uniform blend.
10. Are these bites good for breakfast?
Yes, they make a quick and healthy breakfast option, just pair with a smoothie or a piece of toast for a more filling meal.
