Easy Frozen Yogurt for Kids
This easy frozen yogurt for kids is made with Greek yogurt, whipped topping, vanilla, strawberries, and blueberries for a creamy, scoopable berry treat kids will love.
Equipment
- square or loaf dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt preferably 5%, thick dairy-free yogurt if needed
- 1 cups whipped topping thawed, dairy-free if needed or extra yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1-2 cups mixed berries or fruit of choice chopped or lightly mashed
- 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup or honey optional for sweetness
- cones for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the Greek yogurt, whipped topping (or extra yogurt), vanilla extract, and optional maple syrup or honey (if using) until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the berries or fruit of choice, lightly mashing first if you want more flavor throughout.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a square baking dish or loaf pan. Optional to place saran wrap over (no air bubbles) over the yogurt to help prevent icy texture. Freeze for about 2-4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop but not frozen completely solid. If freezing overnight, then you'll need to set out for about 30 minutes to soften up!
- Scoop into cones, bowls, or mini cups and enjoy! Feel free to drizzle chocolate syrup, hemp hearts, sprinkles, whatever toppings you want!
Notes
Notes
- Full-fat Greek yogurt creates the creamiest texture. If using dairy-free, try to find a Greek-style yogurt or full-fat version.
- For super easy version, just mix chopped fruit + whipped topping + vanilla extract in a tub of yogurt and freeze the tub!
- Because this version uses more yogurt, it freezes a little firmer than a traditional soft serve. Make sure to let it thaw some before scooping or freeze JUST until slightly firmer!
- For a smoother texture, blend the berries into a puree instead of folding them in. Or you can blend everything together then pour in the pan!
- Sub whipped topping with more plain yogurt and don't add sweetener to avoid added sugar for littles under 2yo.
- Serve in bowls for younger toddlers instead of cones.
