Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Yogurt Bites
  • 2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries finely diced
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional, for smoother melting
Optional Garnish
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries crushed

Equipment

  • Mini muffin pan
  • Mini paper liners
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Spoon or Spatula
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Parchment-lined baking sheet

Method
 

Prepare the Yogurt Bites
  1. Line a mini muffin pan with 24 mini paper liners. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth.
  3. Gently fold in the finely diced fresh strawberries.
  4. Spoon the yogurt mixture evenly into the prepared mini muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
  5. Place the muffin pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt bites are completely firm.
  6. Once frozen, carefully remove the yogurt bites from the muffin pan and peel off the paper liners. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Prepare the Chocolate Coating
  1. In a microwave-safe small bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Coat and Chill
  1. Dip the bottom of each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, or drizzle the chocolate over the top using a spoon or fork. For a full coating, you can quickly dip the entire bite and place it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. If desired, sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries while the dark chocolate is still wet.
  3. Return the baking sheet with the chocolate-coated bites to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Serve and Store
  1. Remove from the freezer a few minutes before serving to allow them to slightly soften. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks.
Variations: Experiment with other berries like blueberries or raspberries. You can also add a pinch of lemon zest to the yogurt for extra brightness. For a thicker chocolate shell, repeat the dipping process after the first layer has set.
Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
Melting Chocolate: If the chocolate becomes too thick while working, gently re-microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir.
