Serving Suggestions
This fruity frozen yogurt is versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways. Serve it on its own as a light dessert, or top it with granola for an added crunch. You could also scoop it into a waffle cone for a fun twist! Pair it with a fresh salad or grilled chicken for a complete meal on a warm evening.
Storage & Reheating
For storing leftovers, keep the frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer. It will stay fresh for about 2-3 weeks. If you find it a bit too hard after freezing, simply let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping out your portion.
Pro Tips
To make the blending easier, pop the raspberries in the freezer for about 30 minutes before mixing; this will help achieve a smoother consistency. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, feel free to add a little extra honey or maple syrup to taste. For an extra refreshing touch, consider including some mint leaves when blending.
Variations
There are countless ways to customize your frozen yogurt! Try adding different fruits like mango or peaches for a tropical flair. You might also consider stirring in a handful of chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture. For a dairy-free option, coconut yogurt works wonderfully, keeping all the creaminess you love.
