Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
  • 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (like PB Fit, PB2, or similar)
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth and well combined, ensuring an even mixture.
  2. Step 2: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture onto the prepared surface to form about 6 evenly sized bites. Freeze for 10-20 minutes until solid.
  3. Step 3: While the bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler. Stir regularly until the mixture is smooth and liquid.
  4. Step 4: Once the yogurt bites are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately before the chocolate sets. Place the coated bites in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
  5. Step 5: After the chocolate has set, enjoy your frozen peanut butter Greek yogurt bites as a tasty, protein-packed snack.

Tips & Variations

  • For a different flavor, try almond butter instead of peanut butter or use white chocolate chips.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • If you prefer sweeter bites, add a little more maple syrup to the yogurt mixture.
  • To keep bites softer, reduce freezing time slightly or enjoy them straight from the fridge.

Storage

Store the finished yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. If stored in the fridge, consume within 2-3 days, but note they may soften and lose their frozen texture.

How to Serve

Four round chocolate-covered truffles sit on a white plate, with three whole truffles topped with small white salt crystals and one truffle cut in half showing a thick, creamy, pale beige filling inside. The smooth, shiny chocolate coating contrasts with the soft, crumbly textured inner layer. The plate rests on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use non-dairy yogurt for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with a thick non-dairy yogurt like coconut or almond-based yogurt. Just make sure it has a creamy consistency to help the bites hold together well.

How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking when biting?

Adding coconut oil to the melted chocolate helps create a smooth coating that is less likely to crack. Also, letting the bites thaw a few minutes before eating can reduce the chance of the chocolate breaking sharply.
