Ingredients
  

For the Yogurt Bites
  • 2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt full-fat for best results
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup or honey, to taste
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 8-10 pieces Mini Frozen Churros about 4-5 oz total
For the Churro Coating
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter melted

Equipment

  • Air Fryer (or Oven)
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Small Cookie Scoop (or spoon)

Method
 

Prepare the Churros
  1. Cook the mini frozen churros according to package directions. If using an air fryer, typically 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, or until golden and crispy. If using an oven, bake as directed. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Once slightly cooled, finely chop the churros into small, pea-sized pieces. Set aside.
Assemble the Yogurt Bites
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  2. Gently fold in the chopped churro pieces into the yogurt mixture.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop (about 1.5-inch diameter) or two spoons, drop rounded spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 16-18 bites.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely solid.
Coat and Serve
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the churro coating.
  2. Once the yogurt bites are frozen solid, remove them from the freezer. In a separate small bowl, melt the unsalted butter.
  3. Working quickly, dip each frozen yogurt bite briefly into the melted butter, allowing any excess to drip off. Immediately transfer it to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Return the coated bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet and place them back in the freezer for an additional 15-20 minutes to ensure the coating sets.
  5. Serve immediately from the freezer. Enjoy!

Notes

Store any leftover Frozen Churro Yogurt Bites in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. They are best enjoyed directly from the freezer to maintain their firm texture and prevent melting.
