Easy 5-Minute Frozen Yogurt Cups

I think I just discovered my new favorite snack. Look at these adorable Frozen Yogurt Cups!

Frozen Yogurt Cups

How is it that just when I think there can’t possibly be any more great new food ideas, I come across another wonderful new way to make something delicious and fun? I love how many wonderful ways we can enjoy real food.

I am one of the biggest food geeks. Nobody loves food as much as I. Except for maybe you, which is why you and I have so much fun together here. Isn’t food so very much fun!?!?!!!!!!

At the very least, we all love to eat. It’s just that some of us like to also gawk at our groceries, get a thrill out of creating fun menus, and dream daily of new recipe ideas. Occasionally we might tear up when we look at the full shelves in our beautiful pantry. Some of us.

All this excitement over little frozen yogurt cups. Hey. You have no idea. I saw this idea and loved it, but I didn’t know that I would love it, love it. But the easiness of this idea! The endless options of what can be done to create variations that every family member will like! The deliciousness.

Because making Frozen Yogurt Cups is so very easy, this would be a great “recipe” to hand over to your kids to make. Everyone can create these with their favorite goodies (granola, berries, nuts, peanut butter, chocolate chips…).

You can buy pre-made, flavored yogurt if you like, but since many store-bought options are so loaded with sugar and other not-so-great ingredients, I much prefer to buy or make Whole Milk Plain Yogurt and add my own sweetener and vanilla. If you don’t make your own yogurt, plain store-bought yogurt works just fine for this “recipe.”

  4. Top with fruit if you like.
  5. Freeze for 1-2 hours until solid.

To Fantastic Frozen Yogurt Cup Tips:

1) These worked wonderfully in my Silicone Baking Cups. They popped right out once frozen and clean up was so simple!

2) You can use your Frozen Yogurt Cups to make smoothies! I mean, frozen yogurt and berries? This is what smoothies are made of. Throw some Frozen Yogurt Cups into a blender with a little milk and you’re set!

Raise your hand (and leave a comment) if you’re a food geek like me. Raise your hand (and leave a comment) if you aren’t a food geek, but appreciate that other are so that you can enjoy eating yummy food. See, everyone wins. :)

    What a great idea!!! Maybe adding peanut butter and sprinkling w/ choc chips? Not quite as healthy, but not terrible either.

    hi laura…….great idea! i love my silicone muffins cups, too! question though, which may be silly, but how do you eat them? as is, it seems messy with just your hands but too hard to eat with a spoon. and yes, i know, boys probably don’t care if they get messy :)

      I usually start out eating them with my hands, then as it starts getting melty I put it on a plate and eat it with a fork or spoon. :)

    Good Morning!
    Thank you for all of your helpful tips and meal ideas. :-)
    I appreciate those who are food “geeks” and I wish I was one of them, but I’m not very creative. God blessed me in other ways! :)
    I do get super excited when I can save money when buying groceries and I see the savings at the bottom of my receipt! I especially like it when I can “double dip” and use a store coupon with a newspaper ad one! That brings me joy!
    Have a wonderful weekend! I’ll be at baseball, and I’m guessing you’ll be at soccer. Fun fun fun!!!
