- Quickly dip each yogurt bite and place back on the lined baking sheet. Place back in the freezer for an hour or so.
- Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a firmer ice cream like consistency or let them thaw a few minutes for a creamier texture.

Notes
- Try dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even cinnamon-dusted coconut flakes for a unique flavour.
- Mix in chopped nuts or granola for a fun texture contrast.
- Canned pumpkin puree works well, but homemade puree gives a fresher taste.
- Use coconut, almond or high protein yogurt or for a creamy treat.
- Use any sweetener of choice.
- Use a mini muffin pan or silicone moulds for bite-sized portions that are easy to pop in the freezer
- Storing yogurt bites: For creamy yogurt textures, store them in an air-tight container in the fridge. Store them in an air-tight container in the freezer to make them last longer.
