Ingredients For the Recipe
You’ll need just a handful of ingredients to make these frozen yogurt bites.

- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 cup low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoon honey

How to Make the Raspberry Frozen Yogurt Bites
Got all your ingredients ready? Here’s how to put the yogurt bites together.
Place the almonds in a food processor and process them until you get small crumbs.
Add the coconut sugar and oil.
Process a little more then add about 1 tablespoon in each muffin mold to create the first layer of the bites.
In a separate bowl mix the yogurt and the honey.
Add around 2 tablespoon in each muffin mold.
Top them with fresh raspberries and leave them in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
How Do I Store the Raspberry Frozen Yogurt Bites?
These frozen bites taste best when they are just out of the freezer. You can let them stay in the mold itself or remove them and transfer them to a freezer-safe container and pop them back in.
What Can I Use Instead of Coconut Sugar?
The coconut sugar and honey in the recipe are meant to sweeten the yogurt bites. You could skip using either of them and use any other natural sweetener that you prefer. Maple syrup is a great alternative you can opt for.
Is Coconut Oil Essential For the Recipe?
If you were intrigued by finding coconut oil on the ingredients list for this recipe, don’t be. It is this very ingredient that helps the base set well, and get that perfect shape that you are looking for.
Which Other Fruits Can I Use?
The best part about these raspberry frozen yogurt bites is the fact that you can try the same recipe with other fruits too. Strawberries, peaches, kiwi, bananas, mangos, blueberries are all excellent choices you can opt for.
Bananas: Bananas are perfect if you are looking to make subtle, mild yogurt bites.
Mangos: This vitamin C-rich tropical fruit can be a fun addition to your frozen yogurt bites.
Blueberries: Blueberries are the healthiest of the lot- they have the highest antioxidant content among them all and are naturally sweet too.
Kiwi: Kiwi can be a good choice of fruit to use for this recipe if you’re making these during the warmer months of the year, or when you want to indulge in a nice sweet and sour treat.
Peaches: The sweetness of peaches can balance out the creaminess of the yogurt really well, which makes them another good choice.
Strawberries: These are an absolute favorite and are loaded with fiber and vitamin C.
Make sure all these fruits (except the blueberries of course) are cut into bite-sized pieces so that they become easy to set on the yogurt.
You could also use a combination of two fruits if you’re in the mood to experiment.
What Else Can I Add to the Raspberry Frozen Yogurt Bites?
Depending on your taste, you can try out a lot of different toppings with these versatile sweet treats.
Homemade granola is a great option- it adds a nice element of crunch to the yogurt bites. You could also opt for crushed flaxseeds or toasted coconut flakes if you want to keep them healthy. Chopped nuts are also a classic you just can’t go wrong with, and if nothing else works, some mini chocolate chips or sprinkles can do the magic.
Tips & Tricks to Make the Yogurt Bites
These raspberry frozen yogurt bites are super easy to make no doubt, but keep these little tips and tricks in mind to make sure you nail the recipe in the first shot!
- Use silicone muffin molds to set these yogurt bites- it becomes so much easier to pop them out when you do. You can choose from a ton of different shapes available.
- While you can always add chopped or whole fruits on the top of the yogurt mixture and let it set that way, there is another way to get some extra fruity punch into these yogurt bites. Just blitz up a bit of the fruit you’re using and mix it into the yogurt mixture, and then follow the rest of the recipe as is.
- To give these yogurt bites an extra creamy texture, you could use full-fat milk instead of the low-fat variety.
- Allow the yogurt bites to freeze until they’re solid. Ideally, anything above 4 hours should be good enough.
- To bring out the flavors of the yogurt bites, you can also add a bit of lemon juice into the yogurt mixture, or add a bit of lemon zest.
- Crushed raw almonds make up the base for these yogurt bites, but you don’t necessarily need to stick to using them. Instead, you can crush up some graham crackers and follow the rest of the recipe as is.
- You can also add a couple of spoonfuls of peanut butter (or any other nut butter for that matter) into the yogurt mixture to make these yogurt bites protein-rich and more creamy. Just remember to opt for fruits that complement the taste of the peanut butter.
