Grab your favorite vegan yogurt! Coconut, almond, or even a fruity variety like mango will work wonders.
Line a muffin tin with mini cupcake liners. Pro tip: use silicone liners for easy removal! Spoon your chosen yogurt into each liner, stopping at ¾ full to avoid overflow during freezing.
Berry Blast or Tropical Twist? Now comes the fun part: toppings! Fresh berries are a classic choice, but chopped nuts, granola, or even a drizzle of vegan chocolate sauce can take your cups to the next level.
Freeze and conquer! Pop your masterpiece in the freezer for a minimum of 2-3 hours, or until completely solid.
Recipe Notes and Expert Tips
- Creamy Dream: Opt for thicker vegan yogurts that will freeze well. Coconut or cashew-based yogurts often have a richer texture.
- Sweet or Tart? Pick a yogurt flavor that complements your toppings. Opt for plain if you plan to go wild with fruity mix-ins, or choose a pre-flavored variety for a simpler approach.
- Boost the Flavor: Feeling adventurous? Fold in some chopped nuts, cocoa powder, or a splash of plant-based milk with vanilla extract for a flavor explosion in your yogurt base.
- Freeze Faster: Pre-chill your yogurt before filling the liners. This helps the yogurt set quicker and prevents icy crystals from forming.
- Layer Up the Fun: Don’t be afraid to get creative! Layer your yogurt with different flavors or mix in some granola or chopped fruit for added texture.
- No Ice Crystals Here: If you notice ice crystals forming after freezing, it might mean your yogurt wasn’t cold enough initially. To salvage the situation, let the cups thaw slightly, break them up with a fork, and refreeze for a smoother consistency.
- Fresh is Best: While frozen fruit works in a pinch, fresh berries and chopped fruits add a burst of juicy flavor and vibrant color.
- Think Outside the Box: Don’t limit yourself to fruit! Explore chopped nuts, granola, shredded coconut, or even a drizzle of vegan chocolate sauce or caramel for a decadent touch.
- Portion Control: Pre-portioning your toppings into small bowls keeps things organized and prevents overdoing it on the calorie front.
- Feeling fancy? Make a quick vegan chocolate shell! Melt some vegan chocolate chips with a touch of coconut oil and drizzle it over your frozen cups before the final freeze. Instant Instagram-worthy frozen yogurt bombs!
How to Store Vegan Frozen Yogurt Cups
Here’s how to store your leftover vegan frozen yogurt cups like a pro, ensuring they stay perfect for future snack attacks.
- Single Serving Power: Love portion control? Leftover individual cups are easy to store – simply pop them back in the freezer! No need to transfer them to a container.
- Container Consolidation: Made a big batch? Transfer leftover cups to a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid. This minimizes air exposure and prevents freezer burn.
- Label It Up: Avoid freezer mystery! Label your container with the date you made the frozen yogurt cups. This helps you keep track of freshness and avoid any surprise freezer fossils.
- The Big Thaw: Ready to devour your frozen masterpiece? Let the cup thaw for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. This softens the yogurt just enough for scooping without compromising that refreshing coolness.
