Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups fresh diced strawberries
- 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
Chocolate Coating
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
- Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent sticking.
- Mix Yogurt and Strawberries: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced fresh strawberries with the strawberry Greek yogurt until you achieve a creamy, mixed consistency.
- Form Yogurt Bites: Drop spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture into small bites or clusters onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. You should form about 8 bites, each approximately 2 inches in size.
- Freeze Bites: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the yogurt bites until they are frozen solid, about 30 minutes.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips and optional coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Dip in Chocolate: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each bite fully into the melted chocolate, then place them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle sea salt on top for added flavor.
- Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate coating to harden by letting the bites sit for a few minutes at room temperature or placing them briefly in the refrigerator.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy immediately or store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them separated by parchment paper in a freezer container for up to one month.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- An ice cream scoop or small spoon helps to portion the yogurt mixture evenly.
- Ensure the yogurt bites are completely frozen before dipping to prevent melting.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
- Optional sea salt enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a pleasant contrast.
