Ingredients
Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups fresh diced strawberries
- 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
Chocolate Coating
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
- Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent the yogurt bites from sticking.
- Mix Yogurt and Strawberries: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries with the strawberry Greek yogurt, stirring gently until evenly mixed to create a creamy, fruity yogurt mixture.
- Form Yogurt Bites: Drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture into small bites or clusters on the lined baking sheet, spacing them out to avoid sticking. Aim for about 8 bites, each approximately 2 inches in size.
- Freeze Yogurt Bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the yogurt bites freeze solid for about 30 minutes.
- Melt Chocolate: Put the dark chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl, add coconut oil if using, and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Dip in Chocolate: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each bite completely into the melted chocolate, then transfer them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt for added flavor contrast.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate coating to set by letting the bites sit at room temperature for a few minutes or placing them briefly back in the freezer. Once hardened, enjoy your delicious frozen yogurt treats!
Notes
- For a smoother chocolate coating, stirring during melting is essential to prevent burning.
- Coconut oil helps the chocolate melt more smoothly and harden with a shiny finish but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Store these bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week for best freshness.
- Sprinkling sea salt is optional but adds a nice flavor contrast to the sweetness.
- Use strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt for enhanced berry flavor, but plain Greek yogurt mixed with a little strawberry jam can be substituted.
