Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB2)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s brand)
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 tbsp maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture onto the parchment in evenly sized scoops, making about 6 bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the bites are solid to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the yogurt bites are freezing, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips together with 1 tsp coconut oil using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are firm, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set, the yogurt bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture; nonfat yogurt may result in a less rich bite.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content but retains peanut flavor; substitute with natural peanut butter if preferred but adjust other fats accordingly.
- Melting chocolate gently is key to prevent burning; microwave in short intervals or use a double boiler.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweet and creamy flavors.
- Keep bites frozen or refrigerated before serving to maintain their shape and texture.
- These bites are best consumed within 3-4 days when stored properly in the fridge.
