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.
