What You Need
Ingredients:
⅓ cup freeze-dried raspberries
1 cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1½ teaspoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh raspberries
How to Make Them
Step 1: Make the yogurt coating
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Crush the freeze-dried raspberries into a powder using a rolling pin and a zip-top bag, or blitz them in a mini food processor or spice grinder.
In a bowl, mix the powdered berries with the yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, maple syrup, ginger, and salt until smooth.
Step 2: Coat and freeze
Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the yogurt mixture until coated.
Using a fork, lift out each berry, tap off excess yogurt, and transfer it to the baking sheet with the help of a toothpick.
For fun clusters, place three to four coated berries together.
Freeze, uncovered, for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 3: Serve
Let the bites sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before enjoying this helps avoid that shocking freezer-cold bite and brings out their creamy texture.
Expert Tips
Cluster it up: Want chunkier bites? Arrange yogurt-coated berries in groups of three or four on the tray before freezing.
Customize the flavor: Try cinnamon instead of ginger or use honey or date syrup for a different kind of sweetness.
Use frozen raspberries: No fresh raspberries? Frozen can work—just thaw and dry them before dipping to prevent excess ice.
Yogurt tip: Whole-milk Greek yogurt adds creaminess and keeps you fuller longer, but low-fat versions work too.
