Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Use a spatula or whisk to mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended, creating a creamy, rich base for the bites.
- Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon or small ice cream scooper, scoop the yogurt mixture into about six evenly sized bites and place them on the tray. Freeze the bites for 10–20 minutes until they are firm and fully frozen, which is essential to maintain their shape during chocolate coating.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well between each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler, ensuring no water mixes with the chocolate.
- Dip and Set: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating thoroughly. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top immediately to enhance the flavor. Return the chocolate-coated bites to the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is completely set and hardened.
Notes
- Use dairy-free yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan version.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with agave syrup, honey (for non-vegans), or low-calorie sweeteners like stevia.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months; use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform bite sizes.
- Allow frozen bites to soften slightly in the refrigerator before serving for best texture.
