Yo! I'm stoked to share with you all the awesome baked goods you can whip up using freeze dried yogurt. For those who don't know, I'm a supplier of top-notch freeze dried yogurt, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer in the baking world.
First off, what the heck is freeze dried yogurt? Well, it's basically yogurt that's had all the moisture removed using a fancy freeze-drying process. This not only preserves the tangy, delicious flavor of the yogurt but also extends its shelf life like crazy. And the best part? It's super convenient to use and can add a unique twist to all sorts of baked treats.
Let's start with the classics – cookies. You know those boring old chocolate chip cookies? Well, throw in some crushed Freeze Dried Strawberry Yogurt and suddenly, you've got a whole new level of deliciousness. The tartness of the strawberry yogurt chunks pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the chocolate chips, creating a flavor explosion in your mouth.
Here's a simple recipe to get you started:
Freeze Dried Strawberry Yogurt Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all - purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed Freeze Dried Strawberry Yogurt
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well - combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and crushed freeze dried strawberry yogurt.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Now, onto cakes. A plain old vanilla cake can be transformed into a tangy, creamy delight with the addition of Freeze Dried Fruit Yogurt. You can either fold the crushed yogurt into the cake batter or use it as a topping for a frosting.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Stir in 1 cup of crushed freeze dried fruit yogurt.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert them onto wire racks to cool completely.
- For the frosting, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of crushed freeze dried fruit yogurt.
- Place one cake layer on a plate and spread a layer of frosting over it. Top with the second cake layer and frost the top and sides of the cake.
Muffins are another great option. Blueberry muffins are a staple, but add some freeze dried blueberry yogurt to the mix, and you've got a muffin that's bursting with flavor. The freeze dried yogurt gives the muffin an extra pop of tartness and a unique texture.
Freeze Dried Blueberry Yogurt Muffins

- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and milk.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over - mix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and crushed freeze dried blueberry yogurt.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and bake for 18 - 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pies are also a great candidate for freeze dried yogurt. You can use it in the filling or even as a topping. For example, a lemon meringue pie with a layer of crushed freeze dried lemon yogurt in the filling would be out of this world. The lemon yogurt would add an extra layer of tartness and a creamy texture that would take the classic pie to a whole new level.
And don't forget about pastries. Croissants filled with a cream cheese and freeze dried raspberry yogurt mixture? Sign me up! The buttery, flaky croissant combined with the tangy, sweet filling would be a match made in heaven.
So, as you can see, there are endless possibilities when it comes to using freeze dried yogurt in your baked goods. Whether you're a professional baker looking to add something new to your menu or a home cook wanting to impress your friends and family, freeze dried yogurt is the way to go.
