FAQs
Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?
Yes, flavored yogurt will work but may alter the sweetness and overall taste. Plain yogurt allows you to control the flavor precisely.
How can I prevent the bites from sticking to the mold?
Use a silicone mold or lightly grease the muffin tin before filling. Running warm water over the mold’s bottom after freezing also helps release the bites easily.
