Over the last several years I’ve watched my kids eat a lot of ice cream. And I'll admit, at times it was painful. That’s one of the not-so-fun parts of being an adult. Don't we all grow up thinking, "when I grow up I can finally eat all the ice cream I want!" ? But then you arrive at adulthood and you're like, "wait a minute...no, actually, I can’t eat all the ice cream I want.
That is, unless I want to live with the negative consequences that accompany that behavior." Nature can be really cruel. Fortunately, one of the great parts of being an adult is eating these Strawberry Drumstick Frozen Yogurt Cups. They taste like a strawberry drumstick but they're good for you!
Jump to:
I love drumsticks, but rarely indulge in them because they aren’t exactly healthy and are a lot of WW points! That's why I like to create Weight Watchers Desserts that are frozen. This frozen yogurt cup version is like a dream come true for the health conscious adult!
🥘Ingredients
Loaded with real ingredients, 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 on my plan). 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....
For this healthy strawberry drumstick recipe, you'll need:
- fresh strawberries
- non-fat Greek yogurt 90%)
- mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- waffles cones
- agave syrup
- caramel sundae sauce
🔪Instructions
- Line an 18 muffin tin (or 6 and 12) with cupcake papers (muffin liners)
- Crush the the waffle cones with your hands or in a bag with a rolling pin to crush into small pieces (not crumbs).
- Divide crushed waffles cones evenly between 18 lined muffin cups.
- 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)
- Puree the half container of chopped and hulled strawberries
- Mix yogurt, agave, mini chocolate chips and pureed strawberries together in a large bowl
- Spoon yogurt mixture into each cup over crushed waffle cones, dividing evenly by all 18.
- 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.
- 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!
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!
📖Variations & Substitutions
- Granola - you could use 1 cup of granola in place 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
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!
