Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Optional Topping
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Shape and freeze the bites: Line a plate or small tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon or small scoop, portion the mixture into about six evenly sized bites and place them on the prepared tray. Freeze the bites for 10 to 20 minutes until they are firm enough to handle.
- Melt the chocolate coating: Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt them in short bursts of about 20 seconds, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy.
- Coat the frozen bites: Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each coated bite while the chocolate is still wet for a salty-sweet contrast.
- Set the chocolate: Return the chocolate-coated bites onto the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate them for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate hardens and sets completely. Once set, the bites are ready to enjoy or store for later snacking.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat but maintains peanut flavor.
- Maple syrup adds natural sweetness, but you can adjust or substitute with honey or another sweetener.
- Ensure bites are frozen well before dipping to avoid melting the chocolate too quickly.
- Store bites in the freezer for up to 1 week for best freshness.
