Summertime is around the corner, and with the rising temperature comes the desire for a refreshing and sweet treat. Raspberry Yogurt Dimes are the perfect answer to beat the heat while satisfying your sweet tooth. Not only are they a delicious treat, but they are also healthy and simple to make.
This recipe balances the sweetness of raspberries and the creaminess of frozen yogurt, creating a delightful contrast in taste and texture. The chia seeds in this recipe add to the nutritional value of the dessert. These little seeds are a great source of fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids, making this dessert both tasty and healthy.
The best part of this recipe is that it can be stored in the freezer for up to two months. This makes it the perfect dessert to have on hand for any last-minute cravings. To store, simply place them in an airtight container and freeze. When you’re ready to enjoy, take them out and let them defrost in the fridge. They can last up to a week in the fridge.
To make this recipe even easier, you can substitute frozen raspberries for fresh ones. Just make sure to leave room for them to defrost before mashing them. In some cases, frozen raspberries may release a bit of liquid. If that happens, simply add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
