All week-long 30 bloggers will be sharing 100+ fantastic recipes for both parents and kids, with breakfasts, snacks, desserts, and drinks to get you back in the school routine. 

Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt Drops

These Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt Drops are the perfect make-ahead snack with only three ingredients: Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla.

To really help that vanilla flavor shine through, I used Taylor & Colledge Vanilla Bean Paste. I love those specks of vanilla throughout the yogurt without splitting and scraping a vanilla bean.

How to Form the Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt Drops

We like to make these little drops a couple of different ways.

The easiest is to transfer the flavored yogurt into a piping bag or large ziploc bag with a small corner snipped off and pipe little dots onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. This method will make a lot with very minimal effort.

My kids also like to pipe or spoon the yogurt into small silicone molds to create different shapes (dinosaurs are a particular favorite at the moment). The molds can be arranged on a baking sheet to keep them level (tap them a few times on the counter to get any air bubbles out) and frozen until solid.

After 8 hours to overnight, you can pop the yogurt out of the molds or off the parchment and transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container until ready to serve. Just be sure to keep them in the freezer until ready to eat! They will melt quickly.

A Few Tips

Whole milk Greek Yogurt is best to help these Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt Drops keep their shape.

Don’t have Greek yogurt on hand? You can thicken plain yogurt by placing a strainer over a bowl and lining it with layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter. Add the yogurt and refrigerate until thickened, a few hours to overnight.

If the honey is too thick to easily mix into the yogurt, microwave for just a few seconds until slightly runny. Adjust the amount of honey higher or lower to your desired sweetness level.
