- Adding a little honey or maple syrup can sweeten tart fruits if needed.
- Make smaller lollies by using mini moulds for bite-sized treats.
Storage

FAQs
Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh berries can be used but the texture might be less firm. Freezing helps the layers set well and gives a nice texture to the lollies.
Do I have to use yogurt, or can I use something else?
Yogurt provides creaminess and tang, but you can substitute with coconut yogurt or blended silken tofu for a dairy-free option.
