Description
Wondering if you can freeze Greek yogurt? This ingredient actually holds up well when frozen: here’s how to do it!
Ingredients
- Greek yogurt
Instructions
- If the Greek yogurt is unopened, leave it in the original packaging and place the package in a resealable freezer safe plastic bag. Or, you can freeze it in smaller quantities if you don’t think you’ll use it all at once: go to Step 2.
- Determine whether to divide the Greek yogurt into small sizes (in small containers or even an ice cube tray), or freeze it all together. Keep in mind you cannot re-freeze the yogurt, so it’s helpful to have smaller sizes if you don’t plan to use it all at once. Place the yogurt into a sealed freezable container that will have as little air as possible, or place small portions in sealable freezer safe bags.
- Use a permanent marker to label the yogurt with a “use by” date that is 2 months in the future. If using a plastic bag, partially seal the plastic bag, then use a straw to suck out all air from the bag.
- Place the yogurt in the freezer and freeze for up to 2 months. To defrost the Greek yogurt, place it in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. Once thawed, stir it, which returns it to a creamy texture. Use within 2 days; do not re-freeze the yogurt.
