Frozen Yogurt Dots :: Summer Snack
It gets hot here in the city during the summer. And I mean, hot. Not like Texas hot, but the kind of sweltering heat and humidity that you can't avoid.... because rarely does any establishment have central air-conditioning or even a fan. You can't avoid having to wait for the subway underground with no ventilation, and you can't avoid a balmy afternoon trying to get all your errands done. Refreshing snacks are a must on days like those. And yes, this is just the beginning of my rants on the summer..... I'd always rather be cold than hot.
My go-to favorite snacks for summer are frozen grapes and frozen yogurt. If the two merged into one superhero summer snack, they would be..... frozen yogurt dots! Whelp, I was like a kid on Christmas when this little delightful recipe found its way to my doorstep. It knocked, I answered and boy they sure are de-lic-ious!
THE GOODS ::
- Pyrex dish (you can also use a cookie sheet)
- Yogurt (used a variety of brands/flavors as testers, and I liked the blueberry greek yogurt the best)
DIRECTIONS ::
- Choose your yogurt (trust me, there are way too many options out there, who knew!)
- Scoop into a sandwich baggie. Squeeze the yogurt down to one corner of the bag.
- With a pair of scissors, cut the tip of the corner off the bag.
- Make little dollops of yogurt onto the Pyrex. Or I mean..... you can draw a design, write your name in cursive or spell out a secret in morse code really. Let the yogurt lead you!
- Once that is done. Place the container in the freezer. Let sit for an hour.
- Remove, place in a serving dish and enjoy!
What are your favorite refreshing summer snacks? I gladly welcome any suggestions!

Marissa - I want to feel sorry for you in your 104 degree heat waves..... but I can't, cause you're in gorgeous ITALY! And my jealousy for that runs deep! Haha :) Happy you like my first dip into the animation world.... I thought it was pretty fun!

Awesome idea! Liam will love these, Aunt Amy!
I love this idea!! I tried freezing a container of Greek once with the intention of eating it like frozen yogurt and it was a complete bomb. I'll definitely have to try out your yogurt dot idea!
Amy and I are going ro try these as soon as we plug in the freezer in OP.
Gosh! I can't believe how easy this is! I am definitely going to try it! Thanks for sharing! :)

YUUUMMM. Get into my mouth now please little scrumptious yogurt dots! ;) What a clever idea!
Omg. Love this idea. Great animation, too!
we must be on the same wave length... i totally posted on the froyo pops today! yours is so cute though, love that it's bite size!
So simple but so brilliant. I'm making some first thing tomorrow. :-D
Kelsey - My thoughts exactly! Under scrumptious in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of these yogurt dots!
Jeanne - We ARE on the same wave length! Yours are far far easier than mine. I bet little Hayden is going to l-o-v-e those this summer!
