Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
