Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or full-fat, depending on preference)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a variation)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, optional)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Form the bites and freeze: Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating small, bite-sized portions. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each bite. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil if using. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This ensures a perfect coating.
- Coat the frozen bites: Working quickly, dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, using a fork or toothpick to coat them evenly. Transfer the chocolate-coated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Final freeze: Return the coated bites to the freezer and freeze for an additional 30 minutes. This allows the chocolate coating to set properly, creating a crisp outer shell. Once fully frozen, your Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use nonfat or full-fat Greek yogurt based on your preference for creaminess and fat content.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use a plant-based yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Adding coconut oil to the chocolate helps with smooth melting and a shiny coating but is optional.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- Serve immediately after removing from the freezer to enjoy the perfect texture.
