Tips & Variations

• Use flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla for added sweetness without extra sugar.
• Try tossing some chopped nuts or shredded coconut on the chocolate coating before it hardens for extra texture.

Storage

Store the frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before eating. Avoid refreezing once thawed for best texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered peanut butter?

Yes, but powdered peanut butter helps reduce the fat content and creates a lighter yogurt mixture. Using regular peanut butter only might make the bites denser and less firm.

What if I don’t have silicone molds or an ice cube tray?

You can spread the yogurt mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze it, then break it into small pieces before dipping them in chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 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

Instructions

1. Mix Yogurt and Peanut Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, ensuring an even, creamy consistency.
2. Fill Molds: Spoon the mixture gently into silicone molds or an ice cube tray. Press lightly to pack the mixture without creating air pockets. This will form the base shape for your frozen bites.
3. Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short bursts of 15–20 seconds, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. Freeze Yogurt Bites: Place the filled molds into the freezer and allow the yogurt mixture to set for about one hour, or until firm to the touch.
5. Dip in Chocolate: Once firm, carefully remove each frozen yogurt bite from the mold. Dip each bite into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork or toothpick for easy dipping and handling.
6. Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-coated bites to a lined tray or back into the molds, and freeze for an additional 30 minutes. This final freeze allows the chocolate to harden and the bites to fully set before enjoying.

Notes

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and better flavor, but low-fat versions can work too.
• Powdered peanut butter helps reduce fat content while keeping peanut flavor intense.
• Silicone molds make it easier to remove frozen bites without breaking them.
• Use dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage for less sugar and more antioxidants.
• Store finished bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
• Experiment with different nut butters or add-ins like chia seeds for variety.
