Today we've got a perfect recipe for a sweet, tart summer treat and a great way to preserve those bushels of berries from an afternoon of berry picking or a stop at a roadside farm stand. These little gems are perfect for popping one or two at a time as you pass by the freezer, or serving as a refreshing snack on a hot afternoon. (And don't worry, we won't tell the kids that they're healthy!)
Frozen Yogurt-Covered Berries
2 cups fresh berries (any combination of blueberries, raspberries or blackberries)
1 1/2 cups plain greek yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bamboo skewers or toothpicks
Directions
Wash berries, remove stems, and allow to dry completely on paper towels. Prepare a baking sheet or large plastic tray with parchment paper or a silicon baking sheet. Drizzle honey and vanilla into yogurt and stir until well combined. Skewer one berry at a time and dip in the yogurt. Thoroughly coat each berry, then transfer to the lined baking sheet and remove skewer. Repeat the process with the remaining berries, placing them a couple of centimeters apart. Once all the berries are coated, transfer the baking sheet or tray to the freezer and allow to freeze completely, about 1-3 hours. Once berries are completely frozen, remove them from the baking sheet and place them in a freezer-safe plastic bag or airtight container until ready to serve.
HINT: Substitute the greek yogurt, honey and vanilla with your favorite flavored yogurt. It will make a thinner, but sweeter coating.
