Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Bites
- 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 to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
- Mix Yogurt and Strawberries: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced fresh strawberries with the strawberry Greek yogurt. Stir until well incorporated to create a creamy, fruity yogurt mixture.
- Form Yogurt Bites: Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, drop small clusters or bites of the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Space them evenly to avoid sticking. You should have about eight 2-inch sized bites.
- Freeze Yogurt Bites: Place the baking sheet with the formed yogurt bites in the freezer. Freeze until the bites are solid, approximately 30 minutes.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips and optional coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to slightly thicken.
- Dip Bites in Chocolate: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each yogurt bite completely into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle each coated bite with a pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor.
- Set and Serve: Let the chocolate-coated yogurt bites sit for a few minutes at room temperature to allow the chocolate to harden. Enjoy immediately or store as desired.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture in the yogurt bites.
- An ice cream scoop helps create evenly sized yogurt bites and simplifies portioning.
- Ensure the yogurt bites are fully frozen before dipping in melted chocolate for best coating results.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze bites in a freezer-safe container separated by parchment paper for up to one month.
