🥘Ingredient Notes
Loaded with real ingredients, and natural and delicious strawberry flavor, they are easy to make, taste just like a strawberry drumstick, and are super satisfying. But the best part is...wait for it.... they are WW friendly (3 points). Yes, that's ⅓ the points of a regular ice cream drumstick! And they have all the health benefits of fresh strawberries and Greek yogurt. I guess being an adult isn't so bad after all....
- Greek yogurt. Make sure it's non-fat (0%) plain Greek Yogurt.
- Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mini chocolate chips work much better with this recipe!
- Waffles cones. You can use the cones or bowls.
- Agave syrup. I like to use agave because you use less than you would honey and the taste is mild.
📖Variations & Substitutions
- Granola - you could use 1 cup of granola instead of the waffle cones (with store-bought or homemade granola) and put a little bit of granola into each lined muffin cup.
- Peanut butter - mix it up and use peanut butter instead of strawberries for a change!
- Greek yogurt - you could use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain (just skip the agave syrup) and note the WW points, if you're following the program
- Dairy-free - you can use dairy-free cultured coconut milk yogurt (So Good makes one) and dairy-free chocolate chips
- Agave - you can use honey instead of agave, but you'll need to double the amount of honey you use
🔪How to Make Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Cups
- Step 1: Line an 18 muffin tin (or 6 and 12) with cupcake papers (muffin liners).
- Step 2: Crush the the waffle cones with your hands or in a bag with a rolling pin to crush into small pieces (not crumbs)
- Step 3: Divide crushed waffle cones evenly between 18 lined muffin cups.
- Step 4: Hull and chop half of the 454 g container of strawberries and add those to food processor (reserving the other half of the container of whole strawberries for the topping)
- Step 5: Puree the half container of chopped and hulled strawberries
- Step 6: Mix yogurt, agave, mini chocolate chips, and pureed strawberries together in a large bow
- Step 7: Spoon yogurt mixture into each cup over crushed waffle cones, dividing evenly by all 18.
- Step 8: Hull the remaining half container of strawberries and slice in half. Top each yogurt cup with ½ a strawberry, pushing it slightly into the yogurt. Then drizzle with caramel sauce, dividing caramel between all 18 cups
- Step 9: Freeze for 4-6 hours or until solid (I usually freeze them overnight). Serve frozen.*Use a butter knife or small spatula to loosen frozen Greek yogurt cups from the muffin tin. The paper will come off each cup very easily. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Use Full-Fat Greek Yogurt for a Creamier Texture. While non-fat Greek yogurt works great, using full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt will make these yogurt cups even creamier and more indulgent, especially if you're making them for young kids.
- Crush the Waffle Cones to the Right Size. Avoid crushing the waffle cones into fine crumbs—small chunks provide the best crunch and texture, mimicking the classic drumstick experience.
- Sweeten to Taste. The sweetness of your yogurt cups depends on your strawberries and yogurt. If your strawberries are very ripe, you might need less agave. Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust accordingly.
- Use a Cookie Scoop for Even Portions. A cookie scoop or ice cream scoop makes it easy to evenly distribute the yogurt mixture into muffin cups, ensuring they freeze uniformly.
- Press the Strawberry Topping Slightly into the Yogurt. Lightly pressing the halved strawberries into the yogurt helps them adhere better, preventing them from falling off when frozen.
- Let the Cups Sit for a Few Minutes Before Serving. Allowing the frozen yogurt cups to sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes makes them easier to remove from the liners and easierto eat.
- Freeze on a Level Surface. Place the muffin tin on a flat surface in the freezer to ensure the yogurt cups set evenly and don’t spill before freezing.
- Store Properly to Prevent Freezer Burn. After the yogurt cups are fully frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag to maintain freshness and prevent ice crystals from forming.
And honestly, it no longer bothers me to watch my kids inhale ice cream because I know I have yummier, healthier, and Weight Watchers friendly frozen treats like these healthy frozen yogurt cups, as well as my Weight Watchers Black Forest Ice Cream Sandwiches, my Raspberry Frozen Yogurt Bark, Chocolate Banana Popsicles, my Banana Nice Cream (with coconut and lime) and my WW Rocky Road Froyo Bark waiting for me in my freezer!
Easy to make and oh so satisfying, these healthy yogurt cups are also kid friendly and I'm pleased to say, totally KID APPROVED! And believe me, my kids are a tough crowd when it comes to taste testing healthy frozen stuff. But they completely inhaled these and even begged for more!

❔ Recipe FAQ's
Absolutely! You can mash the strawberries with a fork or use a blender instead. The texture may be slightly chunkier, but it will still work.
These are packed with protein from Greek yogurt, natural sweetness from fruit, and healthy fats, but should be consumed in moderation.
Definitely! Try swapping the strawberries for other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or mango.
Using silicone muffin liners makes removal even easier. If using paper liners, let the cups sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before peeling them off.
