Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter

• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Mix until smooth and well blended.

3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in short bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.

Tips & Variations

• Use natural peanut butter for a cleaner flavor and fewer additives.
• Swap dark chocolate chips for milk or white chocolate if you prefer a sweeter coating.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture for extra depth.
• For smaller bites, use a teaspoon to portion the mixture instead of a tablespoon.

Storage

Store the frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating so they soften slightly.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use non-dairy yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, you can substitute with a thick non-dairy yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt, but the texture and protein content may vary.

How do I prevent the chocolate from melting too quickly?

Keep the bites stored in the freezer and only take them out shortly before eating. The chocolate sets best when chilled and will hold up longer when kept cold.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Chocolate Coating

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
2. Freeze the Yogurt Bites: Line a plate or small tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon or small scoop, portion the mixture into approximately six evenly sized bites. Place them on the lined tray and freeze for 10 to 20 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.
3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in short bursts, about 15-20 seconds at a time, stirring between each interval to prevent burning, until the chocolate mixture is smooth and fully melted.
4. Coat the Bites: Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each coated bite to add a delicate salty contrast to the sweet and nutty flavors.
5. Set the Coating: Return the chocolate-coated bites to the parchment-lined tray. Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate coating sets completely and hardens.

Notes

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture and flavor.
• Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor, but you can substitute with regular peanut butter if preferred.
• The maple syrup adds natural sweetness; adjust amount to taste or substitute with honey or another sweetener.
• Ensure bites are fully frozen before dipping in chocolate to avoid melting the coating.
• Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
• For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and check chocolate chips for vegan certification.
