When making Frozen Yogurt Raspberry Lemon Swirl Rings, one of the most important tools you'll need is silicone molds. These flexible molds are designed to make the unmolding process effortless. Unlike traditional plastic or metal molds, which can cause your frozen treats to stick and break apart, silicone molds allow for easy release without the risk of damaging the shape. Their unique material bends and flexes, ensuring that your beautifully crafted rings come out intact and ready to serve.

Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon water (for raspberry puree)

1/4 cup granola (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Puree: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently until the raspberries break down and the mixture becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve to discard seeds, creating a smooth puree. Set aside to cool.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well blended. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

      Assemble the Swirl Rings:

        - Prepare silicone ring molds (or donut-shaped molds). Spoon a layer of the yogurt mixture into each mold, filling halfway.

          - Add a swirl of raspberry puree on top of the yogurt layer, then use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl it together for a marbled effect.

            - Pour more yogurt mixture over the raspberry layer until the molds are full and swirl again lightly to incorporate some raspberry puree on top.

              Freeze the Rings: Place the mold in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

                Unmold and Serve: Once frozen, remove the rings from the mold. If they’re difficult to release, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of granola if desired.

                  Store Any Leftovers: If there are any leftover rings, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container and return to the freezer.
