Ingredients :
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat), 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (PB2 or similar), 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter, 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions :
- In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Scoop the mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray.
- Freeze for about 2-3 hours or until solid.
- Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted.
- Remove yogurt bites from molds and dip each one in melted chocolate, coating completely.
- Place on a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Freeze again until the chocolate hardens, about 15-30 minutes.
- Store in the freezer in an airtight container.
how to serve Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites
Serve them straight from the freezer. Let a bite sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes if the chocolate is too hard. These treats pair well with a cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk. For a savory-sweet snack plate, you could also include a small serving inspired by garlic butter pumpkin spaghetti on the side (small portions only).
how to store Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites
Keep the bites in an airtight container in the freezer. Layer pieces with parchment paper so they do not stick. They stay good for about 1 month for best flavor. Thaw for a minute or two before eating if you want a softer texture.
tips to make Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier bites.
- Press mixture firmly into molds to avoid air gaps.
- Work on a cold tray to keep bites solid while dipping in chocolate.
- If chocolate thickens while dipping, microwave 10-15 seconds and stir.
- Sprinkle sea salt or chopped nuts right after coating so they stick.
variation (if any)
- Swap dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate.
- Add a small spoon of jam in the center before freezing for a filled bite.
- Mix in mini chocolate chips or chopped banana into the yogurt before freezing.
- Use almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for a different nut flavor.
FAQs
Q: Can I use nonfat Greek yogurt?
A: Yes, you can, but the bites may be less creamy and slightly icier.
Q: Can I skip powdered peanut butter and only use creamy peanut butter?
A: You can, but powdered peanut butter lightens the texture. If you use only creamy peanut butter, use a little less to keep the mix firm.
Q: How long do they last in the freezer?
A: Best quality is about 1 month. They remain safe longer but the texture may change.
Q: Can I make them without chocolate?
A: Yes. Freeze the bites and eat them plain or dip half in yogurt or nut butter instead.
