Ingredients

Yogurt Base

  • 1 cup thick Greek yogurt, plain
  • 1/4 cup cashew (or any nut/seed) butter
  • 2 tablespoons protein or collagen powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

Yogurt Base

  • Add all frozen yogurt ingredients to a bowl (except mini chocolate chips) and mix until smooth and combined.  Stir in mini chocolate chips.
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or use a silicon baking mat and using either a medium cookie scoop or spoon, scoop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the making sheet, slightly spacing each one apart.
    Makes 6-8 bites depending on your preferred size.
    Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the yogurt is completely solid.
     

Chocolate Coating

  • Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and dip each one using 1 or 2 forks to turn the frozen discs around in the melted chocolate to coat.
    Or you can hold each disc with a fork over the bowl of melted chocolate and spoon it over until coated letting the excess drip back into the bowl.
    After each one is coated, transfer back to the baking sheet.
    Once all yogurt bites have been dipped in chocolate, return to the freezer for at least another 30 minutes, or until chocolate has hardened. Either store in the freezer for enjoy later on, or take one out to enjoy right away!
    Tips and Tricks For the Best Frozen Yogurt Bites
    Make sure to freeze the yogurt bites completely before dipping them in the melted chocolate to prevent them from melting.
    For a thicker chocolate coating, dip each bite twice, allowing the chocolate to harden between dips.
    Switch Up The Flavors
    Try swapping the cashew butter for peanut or almond butter or even tahini (sesame seed).
    Substitute the mini chocolate chips for white chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a different texture and flavor.
     Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the dipped bites to balance the sweetness with a salty kick!
