Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix the yogurt and peanut butter base: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
