Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (e.g., PBfit, PB2)
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Toppings
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.
- Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture into about 6 evenly sized bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10-20 minutes, or until the bites are solid to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites freeze, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave or double boiler. Stir regularly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once frozen solid, dip each yogurt bite into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before the chocolate sets. Transfer the coated bites to the refrigerator to set the chocolate completely.
- Serve and Store: When the chocolate has hardened, enjoy your frozen yogurt bites immediately. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- For a lower sugar version, use unsweetened powdered peanut butter and omit or reduce maple syrup.
- Ensure yogurt bites are fully frozen before dipping in chocolate to avoid melting.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture; non-fat can make bites icy.
- Flaky sea salt enhances flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- These bites can be stored in the freezer, but texture may change; best consumed within a few days.
