Instructions
- Prepare Your Peaches:: First things first, grab your beautiful, ripe peaches. Give ’em a good wash, then peel them if you like—I usually do for a smoother bite, but it’s totally up to you. Then, dice them into small, bite-sized pieces. We’re talking maybe a quarter to half an inch. You want them small enough to be in every single Peach & Honey Yogurt Bite, but big enough to still get that juicy peach burst. Don’t forget to pat them dry a bit if they’re super juicy; this helps prevent ice crystals later on. This is where I once got impatient and skipped the drying, leading to slightly icier bites!
- Mix the Creamy Yogurt Base:: Now, in a medium bowl, spoon in your full-fat Greek yogurt. Add the honey and the vanilla extract. Give it a good stir until everything is wonderfully combined and looks super smooth and inviting. This is the heart of our Peach & Honey Yogurt Bites, so make sure it’s well-mixed. I usually taste it here, just to make sure the sweetness is right for me. Sometimes I add a tiny bit more honey if the peaches aren’t super sweet. This is where you can totally make it your own, hon!
- Gently Fold in the Peaches:: Once your yogurt base is ready, gently fold in those diced peaches. You don’t want to mash them, just incorporate them evenly throughout the yogurt mixture. You want to see those gorgeous little peach pieces peeking through, like hidden gems. This step always smells so fresh and summery, it’s just lovely. Ooh, and if you’re adding that pinch of cinnamon, now’s the time to sprinkle it in and fold it through too!
- Portion onto a Baking Sheet:: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper – seriously, don’t skip this, I learned the hard way that they stick otherwise! Using a small spoon, drop spoonfuls of the peach-yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper. Think little dollops, maybe about a tablespoon or so each. They don’t have to be perfect; mine are usually wonky shapes, and that’s part of their charm! Make sure they’re spaced out a bit so they don’t freeze together.
- Sprinkle and Freeze Your Peach & Honey Yogurt Bites:: If you’re using granola or chopped nuts, sprinkle them over the top of each yogurt bite now. This is where you get to add that extra little flourish! Once they’re all topped, carefully transfer the baking sheet to your freezer. This is the patience test, honestly. You need them to freeze solid, which usually takes about 2-3 hours. Don’t peek too often, just let them do their thing!
- Serve and Enjoy:: Once your Peach & Honey Yogurt Bites are frozen solid, you can pop them off the parchment paper. They should come off easily. You’ll see these beautifully frozen, creamy, peachy little morsels, ready to be devoured. They look like little clouds, honestly! I love serving them straight from the freezer. That cold, creamy, slightly sweet bite with a hint of peach is just heavenly on a warm day. They’re such a simple pleasure!
