Back to School Treats

Summer is winding down and we are celebrating with #BacktoSchoolTreats!

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

Today, I am joining the event with a recipe for Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt Drops. Check out my other Back to School Recipes:

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 vanilla bean paste. I love those specks of vanilla throughout the yogurt without splitting and scraping a vanilla bean.

If not available, you can swap for vanilla extract or even vanilla sugar with less honey.

How to Form the Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt Drops

We like to make these little bites 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. I personally like to use a piping bag with a star tip to make the dots a little more decorative.

My kids prefer 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 3 hours to overnight (depending on the size of the mold), 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 immediately before eating. They will quickly melt back into creamy yogurt.

A Few Frozen Yogurt Drop 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.

Yogurt Smoothie Mix Variation

My friends over at Pumjil (Disclosure: I received this product in exchange for my honest review in 2026. All comments and opinions are my own) recently gave me a bag of Vanilla Yogurt Smoothie Mix with Probiotics to try.

This smoothie mix has a blend of nonfat milk, monk fruit sweetener, cane sugar, yogurt powder, vanilla bean, and live cultures to create a creamy and refreshing probiotic addition to yogurt based drinks, smoothies, and desserts.

I decided to incorporate the powder into these frozen yogurt drops and absolutely loved the results.

Simply fold a tablespoon of the smoothie powder into 1 cup (240 grams) Greek yogurt until completely blended and dissolved. Since there was already sweetener included, I skipped the honey and vanilla.

Pumjil also has other flavors available (currently coconut and strawberry), which can add a bit of variation to the frozen yogurt bites.
