Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is uniformly smooth and creamy.
- Portion into Molds: Spoon the prepared mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray, pressing gently to pack the mixture evenly.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in short 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Freeze the Bites: Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow the yogurt mixture to set firmly for about one hour.
- Coat with Chocolate: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the molds and dip each bite individually into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Final Freeze: Return the chocolate-coated bites to the freezer and let them harden completely, about 30 minutes, before serving.
Notes
- Use silicone molds or a flexible ice cube tray for easy removal of the bites.
- For a sweeter bite, you can increase the amount of maple syrup slightly.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- These bites are best enjoyed frozen straight from the freezer.
- To quickly melt the chocolate, stirring frequently avoids burning.
