Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites are a refreshing and healthy treat that’s perfect for warm days or a quick snack. These creamy, nutty bites coated in chocolate offer a satisfying blend of flavors with minimal effort.

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon avocado oil
• Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop 1-tablespoon scoops of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing them evenly.
3. Step 3: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for 4 hours or until the bites are solid.
4. Step 4: Melt the chocolate chips with avocado oil in the microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully smooth.
5. Step 5: Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, sprinkle with sea salt if desired, then place them back onto the parchment-lined sheet. Freeze for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.

Tips & Variations

• Use almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for a different nutty flavor.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or a sprinkle of chopped nuts into the yogurt mixture for extra texture.
• If you prefer sweeter bites, increase the maple syrup slightly to taste.

Storage

Store the frozen Greek yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, simply take them out a few minutes before eating to soften slightly. Avoid thawing completely to keep their shape and texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

Yes, flavored Greek yogurt can be used, but be mindful of added sugars as it may affect the sweetness and texture of the bites.

How do I prevent the chocolate from melting too quickly?

Keep the bites frozen until just before serving and enjoy them quickly once out of the freezer. Storing in a cool environment helps maintain the chocolate coating.
