Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (whole milk or nonfat both work)
• ¼ cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter, sunflower butter)
• 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil

Ingredient Notes

Greek Yogurt: Full-fat creates the creamiest texture, but nonfat works great too and reduces calories. The protein content keeps these from getting icy.

Peanut Butter: Natural peanut butter blends smoothly into the yogurt. Warm it slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds to make mixing easier.

Coconut Oil: Added to the chocolate helps it harden quickly and gives that satisfying crack when you bite through the coating.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Yogurt Base

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until completely smooth and creamy. The peanut butter may resist at first, but keep stirring—it’ll come together into a uniform mixture.

Step 2: Scoop onto Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared sheet. Aim for uniform sizes so they freeze at the same rate. You should get about 24 bites.

Step 3: Freeze Until Solid

Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for 3-4 hours, or until the bites are completely solid. Don’t skip this step—they need to be frozen hard before chocolate coating or they’ll fall apart!

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

When the bites are frozen solid, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth. The coconut oil helps the chocolate stay thin for easy dipping.

Step 5: Dip in Chocolate

Working quickly (the yogurt bites will start to soften!), dip each frozen bite into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to turn it and coat completely, then tap off excess chocolate. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.

Step 6: Final Freeze

Once all bites are coated, return the sheet to the freezer for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely. Then transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Pro Tips & Cooking Hacks

• Use a small cookie scoop for perfectly uniform bites
• Warm peanut butter slightly before mixing for smoother blending
• Work fast when dipping—frozen yogurt melts quickly at room temperature
• Add mini chocolate chips to yogurt mixture before freezing for extra chocolate flavor
• Let bites sit 30 seconds at room temperature before eating for creamiest texture

Tips & Variations

Storage: Store in airtight container in freezer for up to 2 months. They’re best enjoyed straight from the freezer or after sitting out 30 seconds.

Flavor Variations: Swap peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter, or cookie butter. Mix in mini chocolate chips, crushed freeze-dried berries, or granola before freezing.

Chocolate Options: Try dark chocolate for less sugar, white chocolate for sweeter bites, or drizzle with both for a fancy look.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these frozen yogurt bites as an afternoon snack, post-workout protein boost, or healthier dessert option. They’re perfect alongside fresh fruit or as a sweet finish to a light lunch. Kids love them in lunchboxes (use an ice pack!) or as after-school treats.

Common Mistakes

• Not freezing long enough before dipping—bites will fall apart
• Overheating chocolate—it seizes and won’t coat smoothly
• Using low-fat yogurt—can result in icier texture
• Taking too long to dip—work quickly or bites will melt!

What to Serve With Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites

These bites are perfect on their own, but pair beautifully with fresh strawberries, sliced apples, or a handful of granola for a complete snack. Serve them at parties alongside other desserts, or pack them in lunchboxes for a special treat that’s actually nutritious.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes! Use coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.

How long do these last in the freezer?

They’ll keep for up to 2 months in an airtight container. The chocolate coating protects the yogurt from freezer burn.

Can I skip the chocolate coating?

Absolutely! They’re delicious without chocolate, though the coating does help preserve them longer and makes them feel more indulgent.

Why is my yogurt mixture too runny?

Make sure you’re using thick Greek yogurt, not regular yogurt. If it’s still too thin, add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter.

Can I use a different sweetener?

Yes! Maple syrup, agave, or even a few dates blended in work great. Adjust to taste.
