Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
2. Step 2: 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. Freeze for 10-20 minutes until firm.
3. Step 3: While the bites freeze, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave or double boiler, stirring regularly until smooth and liquid.

5. Step 5: Once the chocolate is set, serve immediately or store the remaining bites in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Tips & Variations

• Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, more authentic peanut flavor.
• Swap maple syrup for honey or agave syrup based on your preference.
• Try white or milk chocolate coatings for a different taste.
• Add chopped nuts or freeze-dried fruit into the yogurt mixture for extra texture.

Storage

Store any leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. They are best enjoyed chilled. If they soften, place them back in the freezer for a few minutes before serving to firm up again.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use fat-free Greek yogurt instead of full fat?

Yes, you can substitute fat-free Greek yogurt, but the bites may be less creamy and rich. Full-fat yogurt helps achieve a smoother texture and better flavor.

Can I make these bites vegan?

To make a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips. Also, ensure your peanut butter and sweetener are vegan-friendly.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Yogurt Mixture

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or 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

Topping

• Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

1. 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 thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
2. Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the yogurt mixture into approximately 6 evenly sized bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10-20 minutes until the bites are firm and solid to the touch.
3. Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites freeze, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler. Stir the mixture regularly until the chocolate becomes smooth and liquid.
4. Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each one thoroughly into the melted chocolate to coat. Optional: sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before the chocolate sets. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
5. Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set, enjoy your frozen yogurt bites. Store any leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

• The use of powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while keeping peanut flavor.
• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess, but you can substitute with low-fat if preferred.
• Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness.
• For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy Greek-style yogurt substitute.
• Store bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain texture.
