Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
