Introduction

Frozen Greek Yogurt bites are a delightful and healthy treat that combines creamy yogurt, rich peanut butter, and a chocolate coating. These bite-sized snacks are perfect for a cool, refreshing dessert or a quick energy boost.

The image shows round light tan cookie dough balls with smooth texture, each topped with several dark brown chocolate chips scattered unevenly on top. Thin lines of dark chocolate drizzle run over the dough balls, adding a shiny, rich accent. The cookie dough balls are placed close to each other on a white marbled surface, which has some coarse salt crystals scattered around, adding contrast. The focus is sharp on the front cookie ball with others softly blurred in the background, creating depth. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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)
1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Optional toppings: crushed peanuts, sea salt flakes, shredded coconut

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, saving a few for topping if desired.
Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Place them on the baking sheet and gently flatten into disc shapes. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until firm.
Step 3: Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop.
Step 4: Remove the frozen discs from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Tap off the excess chocolate and return each coated bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with your choice of toppings such as crushed peanuts, sea salt flakes, or shredded coconut.
Step 5: Freeze the coated bites again for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
Step 6: Transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container and store them in the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving for a creamy, delicious texture.

Tips & Variations

For a vegan version, use almond butter and maple syrup instead of peanut butter and honey.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of instant espresso powder to the yogurt mixture for extra flavor depth.
Use white chocolate chips for coating if you prefer a sweeter chocolate flavor.
If you don’t have mini chocolate chips, chop regular chocolate into small pieces for mix-ins.

Storage

Store the frozen Greek yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, allow them to sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes to soften slightly before serving. Avoid refreezing once thawed to maintain the best texture.

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

It’s best to use plain Greek yogurt to control the sweetness and flavor balance. Flavored yogurts may add extra sugar or alter the taste unexpectedly.

How do I prevent the chocolate from melting too quickly when eating?

Keep the bites stored in the freezer until just before serving and let them sit for only a few minutes at room temperature. Enjoy them quickly to savor the crisp chocolate shell before it softens.
