Introduction

These Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites are a delicious and healthy treat that’s easy to make at home. Creamy yogurt combined with peanut butter and a touch of sweetness, dipped in chocolate, makes for a refreshing snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon to drop scoops of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing them evenly.
3. Step 3: Freeze the scoops for 4 hours or until they are completely solid.
4. Step 4: Melt the chocolate chips with avocado oil in the microwave, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.

6. Step 6: Place the dipped bites back on the parchment-lined sheet and freeze for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Tips & Variations

• Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different flavor profile.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder to the yogurt mixture for extra depth.
• Use dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate coating.
• For a nut-free version, substitute the nut butter with sunflower seed butter.

Storage

Store the frozen bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, eat straight from the freezer for the best texture. No reheating is necessary.

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

Yes, but keep in mind that flavored yogurt may add extra sweetness and change the overall flavor of the bites.

How do I prevent the chocolate from melting too fast when serving?

Keep the frozen bites stored in the freezer until just before serving. Serving them on a chilled plate can also help keep the chocolate from melting quickly.

Main Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

• 3/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon avocado oil
• Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare yogurt mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Form bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, drop scoops of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing them evenly to prevent sticking.
3. Freeze bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 4 hours or until the yogurt bites are completely solid and firm to the touch.
4. Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with avocado oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
5. Coat and set: Remove frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Dip each bite into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Place coated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

Notes

• Use any nut butter you prefer, such as almond or cashew butter, as a substitute for peanut butter.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute the Greek yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt alternative.
• Ensure the bites are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting and maintain shape.
• Store the finished bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
• Optional: Add crushed nuts or shredded coconut on top after dipping in chocolate for extra texture.
