Description
Yogurt Melts are a simple and healthy frozen snack perfect for babies and toddlers.

Ideal for introducing young children to new flavors while keeping them cool and satisfied.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pouch (3.5 ounces) flavored yogurt (e.g., Stonyfield Organic Strawberry Beet Berry)
Instructions
- Prepare the Surface: Line a baking sheet or large flat plate with parchment paper, ensuring the size fits comfortably inside your freezer.
- Create Yogurt Circles: Squirt tiny dime-sized circles of yogurt onto the parchment paper in rows. Using a store-bought yogurt pouch makes this easier, but if using yogurt from a container, transfer it to a reusable pouch, piping bag, or a plastic baggie with the tip cut off for controlled dispensing.
- Freeze the Yogurt: Place the baking sheet or plate with the yogurt circles inside the freezer and let them freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight until they are firm.
- Serving: When ready to serve, remove a few yogurt melts from the freezer at a time since they melt quickly. If they are frozen solid, let them sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly before giving them to your baby. Testing one on your tongue to check melting ease can help avoid choking hazards.
- Storage: Store leftover yogurt melts in the freezer. Once fully frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container to prevent sticking. Alternatively, keep them on the baking sheet or plate in the freezer. They will stay good for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Use any flavored yogurt suitable for your child’s taste preferences.
- Ensure the yogurt melts soften slightly before serving to avoid choking risks.
- Freeze thoroughly to ensure they maintain shape and texture.
- Store in an airtight container once frozen solid to prevent sticking and freezer burn.
- These are ideal as a refreshing snack during warmer months.
