4. Step 4: Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl using short bursts, stirring until smooth.

Tips & Variations

• For a crunchier texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on the yogurt mixture before freezing.
• Use dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a richer chocolate flavor and less sugar.
• Swap maple syrup with honey or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
• If you don’t have powdered peanut butter, use extra creamy peanut butter but reduce slightly to keep the mixture firm.

Storage

Store these frozen bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, simply remove a few at a time; they thaw quickly at room temperature. No reheating is needed—eat them frozen for the best texture and flavor.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered peanut butter?

Yes, but reduce the amount slightly as regular peanut butter is more oily and can make the mixture less firm. You might want to add a bit more Greek yogurt to balance the texture.

Are these bites suitable for a dairy-free diet?

This recipe uses Greek yogurt, which contains dairy. For a dairy-free option, you can try substituting with coconut or almond yogurt, but the texture and taste may vary.

2. Fill the molds: Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray, pressing down gently to pack each cavity completely and evenly.
3. Freeze the yogurt bites: Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to set for about one hour, so the bites become firm.
4. Melt the chocolate coating: While the bites are freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short bursts and stirring in between until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
5. Dip the frozen bites in chocolate: Remove the yogurt bites from the molds and quickly dip each bite into the melted chocolate until fully coated, ensuring an even layer of chocolate surrounds each piece.
6. Final freeze to harden: Return the chocolate-coated bites to the freezer for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.

Notes

• Use silicone molds or ice cube trays for easy removal after freezing.
• You can substitute maple syrup with honey or a sugar-free sweetener if preferred.
• Ensure the yogurt mixture is well packed in the molds to prevent air pockets.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and check the chocolate chips for dairy content.
• These bites are best stored in an airtight container in the freezer and consumed within 1-2 weeks for optimal flavor and texture.
