Cooking Techniques
Mixing: When combining the yogurt and peanut butter, ensure that both components are at room temperature for easier blending. This ensures a creamy consistency that is easy to scoop.
Freezing: For the best results, spread the yogurt mixture evenly and make sure the bites aren’t too large, as this will help them freeze faster and more evenly.
