Strawberry yogurt dots are a simple, healthy frozen snack that I love making for a light treat or a fun way to cool down. Made with just a couple of ingredients, these bite-sized dots of fruity yogurt are perfect for kids and adults alike. They’re refreshing, naturally sweet, and incredibly easy to prep ahead and store in the freezer.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how quick and customizable these yogurt dots are. They only take a few minutes to prepare and freeze beautifully. The combination of strawberries and yogurt creates a creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor that feels indulgent without being heavy. Whether I need a healthy snack, a treat for little ones, or a refreshing bite after dinner, these dots always do the trick.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled)
Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
Honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on the sweetness of the yogurt and berries)

Directions

I place the strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
I mix the strawberry purée with the yogurt in a bowl. If I’m using plain yogurt and want it sweeter, I add a little honey or maple syrup.
I transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off.
I pipe small dots onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping them about the size of a blueberry or a little larger.
I place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the dots are fully frozen.
Once frozen, I peel them off the parchment and store them in a freezer-safe container or bag.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 40–50 small dots.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Freeze time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 10 minutes

Variations

Sometimes I use different fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or mango in place of strawberries. I also like using flavored Greek yogurt for a fun twist—strawberry-banana, vanilla, or honey work great. For a creamier texture, I mix in a spoonful of cream cheese or coconut cream. I’ve even added a pinch of cinnamon for a little warmth.

Storage/Reheating

I store the dots in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. They’re best eaten straight from the freezer since they soften quickly at room temperature. I don’t reheat them—they’re meant to be enjoyed frozen.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought strawberry yogurt?

Yes, I can use store-bought flavored yogurt to make this even easier—just skip blending the berries and go straight to piping.

Are these good for toddlers?

Absolutely. I make sure the dots are small and the ingredients are safe (unsweetened if needed), and they make a great frozen snack for little ones.

Can I use dairy-free yogurt?

Yes, I use almond, coconut, or soy-based yogurt for a dairy-free version. They freeze just as well and taste great with fruit.

How do I keep the dots from sticking?

I always use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat when piping the dots. Once frozen, they pop right off without any sticking.

Do I need to thaw them before eating?

Nope. I enjoy them frozen. They melt quickly in the mouth and have the perfect texture straight from the freezer.

Conclusion

Strawberry yogurt dots are a fun, refreshing, and wholesome snack I love to keep in the freezer year-round. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, they’re a smart way to enjoy something sweet and fruity without going overboard. Whether I’m making them for myself or for kids, they’re always a hit.
