Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup full fat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup peanut butter powder (such as PB Fit, PB2, or Clean Simple Eats powdered peanut butter)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
Chocolate Coating
- ½ cup Lily’s dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Toppings (Optional)
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter powder, peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed to create a smooth and creamy base.
- Form Bites: Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined plate or small baking tray. This recipe yields about 6 evenly sized bites.
- Freeze Bites: Place the tray with the formed bites into the freezer. Allow them to freeze for 10-20 minutes or until they feel solid to the touch, ensuring they hold their shape for the next step.
- Melt Chocolate: While the bites are freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips together with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
- Coat Bites: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, fully coating each bite. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired for an enhanced flavor contrast.
- Set Chocolate: Place the chocolate-coated bites in the refrigerator to let the chocolate set firmly. Once set, they are ready to enjoy.
- Storage: Store the finished bites in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Use full fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Peanut butter powder reduces fat while keeping the peanut flavor intense.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice balance to the sweetness and richness of the chocolate.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut-based yogurt.
- Ensure bites are frozen before dipping to prevent melting during coating.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh longer.
