Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites are a delightful and healthy treat that combines creamy yogurt with the nostalgic flavor of cookie dough. Perfect for a guilt-free snack or dessert, they’re easy to make and fun to enjoy straight from the freezer.

Ingredients

• 1 cup non-dairy yogurt (plain and unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup cashew butter (or any nut/seed butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the non-dairy yogurt, protein powder (if using), cashew butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium-large cookie scoop, drop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
3. Step 3: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the bites for at least 1 hour, or until they are completely solid.
4. Step 4: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
5. Step 5: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Dip each bite into the melted chocolate to coat it fully, then place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Step 6: Return the coated bites to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely. Store in the freezer and enjoy chilled whenever you like.

Tips & Variations

• Use almond or sunflower seed butter if you prefer different nut or seed flavors.
• Swap chocolate chips for mini butterscotch or white chocolate chips for a twist.
• For extra crunch, stir in chopped nuts or seeds to the yogurt mixture before freezing.
• Make sure your yogurt is well-drained if it’s too watery to avoid icy bites.

Storage

Store these frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When you’re ready to enjoy, take them out and let them sit for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly before eating. Do not refreeze once thawed.

FAQs

Can I use dairy yogurt instead of non-dairy?

Yes, you can use regular dairy yogurt if you prefer. Just make sure it’s plain and unsweetened for the best flavor balance.

How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking when biting?

Adding coconut oil to the melted chocolate helps it stay smooth and less brittle. Also, let the bites thaw slightly before eating to soften the chocolate shell.

Frozen Yogurt Mixture

• 1 cup non-dairy yogurt (plain and unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup cashew butter (or any nut/seed butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Coating

• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, combine the non-dairy yogurt, protein powder (if using), cashew butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Then fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
2. Form the Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium-large cookie scoop or spoon, scoop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing each bite slightly apart to prevent sticking.
3. Freeze the Bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour or until the yogurt bites are completely solid.
4. Melt the Chocolate Coating: Melt the chocolate chips together with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl (using 20-30 second intervals, stirring between) or over a double boiler until the mixture is smooth and fluid.
5. Coat the Frozen Bites: Remove the solid yogurt bites from the freezer and dip each one individually into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Return the coated bites onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Set the Chocolate: Freeze the chocolate-coated bites for at least another 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
7. Storage and Serving: Store the frozen yogurt bites in the freezer until ready to enjoy. Serve straight from the freezer as a cool, delicious snack.

Notes

• Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution within the yogurt mixture.
• Protein powder is optional but adds extra protein to the bites.
• Cashew butter can be substituted with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free options.
• Ensure the yogurt used is plain and unsweetened to control sweetness.
• Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
• For a vegan version, use vegan-friendly chocolate chips and maple syrup as the sweetener.
