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 (Lily’s brand recommended)
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the full fat Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring an even distribution of all ingredients.
- Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to portion the yogurt mixture into approximately 6 evenly sized bites. Place the tray in the freezer and let the bites freeze for 10-20 minutes until they feel solid to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler method. Stir regularly to achieve a smooth, liquid chocolate consistency without burning.
- Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are fully frozen, dip each bite into the melted chocolate ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the coated bites before the chocolate hardens to add a savory contrast. Place the coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to fully set.
- Serve and Store: After the chocolate coating has hardened, the yogurt bites are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Use full fat Greek yogurt for a richer and creamier texture.
- Powdered peanut butter helps increase protein content while reducing fat.
- Melting chocolate with coconut oil makes the coating smoother and easier to dip.
- Sprinkling flaky sea salt enhances the flavor by providing a balance to the sweetness.
- These bites should be kept refrigerated or frozen until serving to maintain texture.
