What you will need
This recipe uses 3 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup full fat plain greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp strawberry or mango puree
- 1 tsp honey only for toddlers over 12 months
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Mix the yogurt base
In a bowl stir together full fat greek yogurt and fruit puree until evenly combined and the mixture turns a uniform colour with no streaks of plain yogurt remaining.
Step 2: Pipe onto a tray
Transfer the yogurt mixture to a small zip lock bag and snip a tiny corner off. Pipe small round drops onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper leaving space between each one.
Step 3: Freeze until solid
Place the tray flat in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until every drop is completely solid and easy to lift off the parchment paper without sticking.
Step 4: Store and serve
Transfer frozen yogurt drops to a small airtight container and store in the freezer for up to one week. Serve a small handful directly from frozen and supervise toddlers while eating.
Easy substitutions

- strawberry puree → mashed ripe avocado blended smooth for a less sweet version
- greek yogurt → coconut yogurt for a dairy-free alternative
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Making the drops too large which creates a choking hazard for young toddlers
- Not waiting until completely frozen before removing from the tray which causes them to lose their shape
