Ingredients
Scale
Frozen Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt for sweetness)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor enhancement)
Topping
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, honey or maple syrup if using, and vanilla extract. Gently fold the ingredients to mix without crushing the blueberries too much, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
- Scoop into Molds: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or a lined mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about three-quarters full to allow room for expansion when freezing.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely, about 2 hours, until the bites are solid.
- Melt the Dark Chocolate: While the yogurt bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler on low heat.
- Dip the Frozen Bites in Chocolate: Once the yogurt bites are frozen solid, quickly dip each bite into the melted dark chocolate to coat it partially or fully as desired. Immediately return the coated bites to the freezer on a parchment-lined tray to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Final Freeze and Serve: Freeze the chocolate-coated yogurt bites for an additional 15-30 minutes to ensure they are fully set. Serve directly from the freezer as a cool, refreshing snack.
Notes
- For a sweeter treat, use vanilla-flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt.
- To prevent chocolate from melting quickly when dipping, keep the yogurt bites very cold and work quickly.
- These bites keep well in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Feel free to substitute blueberries with other berries like raspberries or chopped strawberries.
