Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Freeze the Bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour or until the yogurt bites are completely solid.
- 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.
- 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.
- Set the Chocolate: Freeze the chocolate-coated bites for at least another 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
- 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.
