Ingredients
Instructions
- Put all ingredients into a blender and blend on high speed for about 3 minutes.
- Place one dozen cupcake holders in a muffin pan.
- Spoon fruit whip into cups and freeze.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat yogurt instead of plain yogurt. You can also substitute frozen strawberries with frozen blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor. If you prefer a sweeter whip, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup before blending. Make sure to blend thoroughly for a smooth consistency; chunks of fruit can affect the texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the frozen fruit whip in bowls or as a fun treat in cupcake holders, garnished with fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey. It pairs beautifully with Coconut And Honey Cakes for a delightful dessert combination. This light dessert is perfect for summer gatherings or as a refreshing snack on hot days.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fruit whip in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Avoid microwaving, as it can alter the texture. Instead, let it thaw naturally for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Fresh fruit can be used, but it won't achieve the same frozen texture. If using fresh, consider adding ice to the blender to create a frozen effect. Just be mindful that this may dilute the flavor slightly, so adjust sweetness accordingly.
How long does it take to freeze?
The fruit whip typically takes about 4-6 hours to freeze fully in cupcake holders. For best results, freeze overnight if possible. If you're in a hurry, you can freeze it in a broader container, which may speed up the process.
Can I add other flavors or ingredients?
Absolutely! You can enhance the flavor by adding a splash of vanilla extract or a tablespoon of lemon juice for a zesty twist. Experimenting with different frozen fruits or even a scoop of nut butter can lead to unique and delicious variations.
