Homemade Baby Yogurt Melts
Check out this awesome frugal tip that Melissa sent in for how to make your own homemade baby yogurt melts!
“My son LOVES Gerber’s yogurt melts, but they are pretty expensive (around $3 for a small 1-oz bag) and when I read the ingredients, I was shocked to see the second ingredient is sugar. I decided to try making them myself.”
What You’ll Need:
How-To:
Melissa says, “I don’t have a freeze-dry machine, so I couldn’t replicate the shelf-stability of the Gerber product. But I’m a stay-at-home mom and most of the time, it’s not an issue – I pull a few from the container in the freezer and plop them on his tray. My son eats them so fast, they never have a chance to melt. This is hands down his favorite snack!”
What a fantastic tip!
Thanks, Melissa!

Hi! How long will the yogurts drops last in a nappy bag before they melt and turn into runny yogurt?
Anyone know what temp the oven should be, and how long to bake them for?
Hi Taylor - For this particular recipe, no baking is required! Just freeze them on a baking tray until they are solid, then carefully peel them off and store them in the freezer until ready to serve.
for some reason mine are super watery.... i used 3% plain yogurt
Am I the only one who had issues? Lol. Mine was really thin. When I would pour it on the tray it didn’t stay in a nice little circle. It went everywhere on the tray. It definitely was not thick enough to have it look nice and firm like the picture. Maybe strawberries was a bad mixture for this. Strawberries may be too watery. Not sure. Kind of bummed
Maybe try Greek yogurt? I haven't tried to make these yet but I know Greek yogurt is a thicker consistency
I used frozen blueberries and it ended up being too liquidy. I bought gelatin to thicken it up but have no idea how much to use. Any thoughts?
Can you substitute coconut milk for the yogurt?
You could use coconut milk yogurt
How long would these last in the freezer/deep freeze?
This is a perfect summer snack. Healthy n delicious!
how long can they stay in the freezer?? Like if I wanted to make a bunch at one time
What age would these be suitable? Ftm
