How to freeze Greek Yogurt
Equipment
- airtight container
- marker or pen
- freezer bags
- Ice Cube Tray
Ingredients
- Greek Yogurt
Instructions
In Store-bought Container
- You can freeze your unopened greek yogurt in the store-bought container, however the container will not last as long without quality changes as a freezer bag or freezer safe container.note: there is also a chance of the container tearing/bursting as the yogurt expands.
- Simply toss the whole container into the freezer.
- For best results, toss the container into a freezer bag before putting it into the freezer.
In Freezer bag or airtight container
- Portion the yogurt into the amount you will need when you defrost it.
- Spoon each portion into a freezer bag or airtight container.Note: try to use a container that is sized so there is only an inch or two between the yogurt and lid. This will minimize air and therefore minimize freezer burn.
- Press any air out of the freezer bag and carefully zip it shut. Or, place the lid on your container.
- Put the date on the package and place it into the freezer
In ice cube tray
- Carefully spoon greek yogurt into each compartment of the ice cube tray. Leave a little room in each compartment for the yogurt to expand a little on freezing.
- Stick the tray into the freezer for a few hours until the yogurt is solid.
- Remove from the freezer, and pop out the cubes.
- Toss the frozen yogurt cubes into a freezer bag or an airtight container.
- Jot the date onto the package and toss it back into the freezer.
