# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in 10 minutes of actual work, then the freezer does the rest while you go about your day.
  • You get that creamy-crunchy contrast that makes every bite feel a little bit fancy without any real effort.
  • The cinnamon warmth somehow makes something frozen feel cozy, which sounds backwards until you taste it.
02 -
  • If your Greek yogurt is too thick straight from the container, the mixture won't spread evenly, so give it a good stir first or even add a tablespoon of milk to loosen it up.
  • The thickness of your initial spread matters more than you'd think—too thin and you end up with brittle shards, too thick and it becomes rock solid in the middle.
03 -
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt makes all the difference—it stays creamy when frozen instead of turning icy, which is the whole point.
  • If your toppings keep sliding around while you're pressing them down, sprinkle them gradually instead of all at once, pressing as you go.
