Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Final freeze: Place the chocolate-coated bites back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
- 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.
