Ingredients
Scale
Fruit and 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 the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal of frozen bites easy.
- Make the Strawberry Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries with the strawberry Greek yogurt and stir well until you have a creamy, chunky mixture.
- Form the Bites: Drop small clusters of the strawberry yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, roughly the size of bite-sized morsels.
- Freeze the Bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the bites are fully frozen and firm to the touch.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips along with the coconut oil (if using) in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Coat the Frozen Bites: Quickly dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coated bites back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Finishing Touches: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-coated bites to enhance the flavor.
- Set the Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to harden completely by letting the bites sit at room temperature for a few minutes, or place them back in the freezer briefly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is set, serve the frozen yogurt bites as a refreshing, tasty snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and better flavor.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute with coconut yogurt.
- Ensure the strawberry pieces are not too large, so they mix well with the yogurt.
- Work quickly when dipping into chocolate to prevent the yogurt from melting.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- Optional coconut oil helps smooth the chocolate and make it easier to coat.
- Sprinkling sea salt enhances the chocolate’s sweetness and adds a nice contrast.
