🍫 Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites
📝 Ingredients
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or nonfat)
• ¼ cup natural peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
• ¾ cup dark or milk chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or avocado oil
• Sea salt or chopped peanuts for topping (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:
• In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
2. Form the Bites:
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
3. Freeze:
• Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the yogurt bites for about 4 hours, or until they are firm.
4. Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
• Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
5. Coat the Bites:
• Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer.
• Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
• Place the coated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• If desired, sprinkle the tops with sea salt or chopped peanuts before the chocolate sets.
6. Final Freeze:
• Return the chocolate-coated bites to the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
7. Serve and Store:
• Once set, transfer the bites to an airtight container.
• Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• Before serving, let the bites sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes to soften slightly.
💡 Tips and Variations
• Yogurt Options: While plain Greek yogurt provides a tangy flavor, you can use vanilla-flavored yogurt for added sweetness.
• Sweeteners: Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to taste.
• Add-Ins: For extra texture, consider mixing in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the yogurt mixture before freezing.
• Chocolate Drizzle: If you prefer a lighter chocolate touch, drizzle the melted chocolate over the frozen bites instead of fully coating them.
