Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites are a delicious and healthy treat that combines creamy, tangy yogurt with sweet chocolate chips and a rich chocolate coating. Perfect for a guilt-free snack or dessert, they’re simple to make and fun to eat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup non-dairy yogurt (plain and unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup cashew butter (or any nut/seed butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix all the frozen yogurt ingredients except the chocolate chips until smooth and well combined. Then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium-large cookie scoop to drop dollops of the mixture onto the sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
3. Step 3: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the yogurt bites are solid.
4. Step 4: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Remove the frozen bites and dip each one in the melted chocolate to coat, then return them to the baking sheet.
5. Step 5: Freeze the coated bites for at least another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. Store frozen and enjoy chilled.

Tips & Variations

• Use your favorite nut or seed butter for different flavors, such as almond or sunflower seed butter.
• If you prefer a sweeter bite, add a bit more maple syrup or honey to the yogurt mixture.
• For a crunchy texture, sprinkle chopped nuts on the yogurt bites before freezing.
• Try dairy yogurt instead of non-dairy if you wish; plain Greek yogurt works well.

Storage

Store these frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before eating. Avoid thawing completely to keep their texture and flavor.

Frozen Yogurt Mixture

• 1 cup non-dairy yogurt (plain and unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup cashew butter (or any nut/seed butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (mini or regular, divided)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

1. Mix the base: In a bowl, combine non-dairy yogurt, protein powder if using, cashew butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated. Then fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips gently.
2. Form the bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium-large cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of the frozen yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
3. Freeze the bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour or until the yogurt bites are completely solid.
4. Prepare the chocolate coating: Melt the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips together with the coconut oil in the microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
5. Dip the bites: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly, then return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Final freeze: Place the chocolate-coated bites back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
7. Serve or store: Enjoy the frozen yogurt bites right away or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later indulgence.

Notes

• For a nut-free version, substitute cashew butter with sunflower seed butter.
• Use vegan or dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe plant-based.
• If you prefer sweeter bites, increase the maple syrup or honey slightly.
• Protein powder is optional but adds extra nutrition and creaminess.
• Serve immediately after removing from the freezer for the best texture.
