Ingredients

2 cups Fresh Strawberries
1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Honey
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
4 cups Semi Sweet Chocolate
3 tablespoons Coconut Oil
Sea Salt

Instructions

Prepare Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries. Dice them into small bite sized pieces.
Mix Yogurt: In a bowl, combine the diced strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Freeze: Scoop out spoonfuls of the strawberry yogurt filling onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 2 tablespoons each depending on your liking, creating little individual mounds. Place them in the freezer for 2 hours to fully freeze and harden.
Melt Chocolate: When the yogurt bites are frozen, melt the chocolate. (leave them in the freezer while heating the chocolate) To a microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Coat in Chocolate: Take the frozen yogurt and strawberry bites out of the freezer. Spoon a layer of melted chocolate over each bite, ensuring the strawberry and yogurt are completely coated and place them back on the parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate layer for a flavor enhancement.Freeze Again: Place the bites back in the freezer and freeze for another 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is solid and the bites are completely frozen.
Special Notes: These can be a bit messy so work quickly and in batches if you need to, leave half in the freezer as you work on the first batch. Make sure to reheat the chocolate as you work in case it begins to harden as you coat. Don’t make them too big because they are very decadent and have a thick coating of chocolate, bite sized it best!

Can This Be Frozen?

Absolutely! These delightful bites are designed to be frozen. Freezing not only gives them their bite-sized ice cream-like texture but also extends their shelf life. Perfect for preparing in advance for a gathering or for having a handy, healthy snack ready whenever you need it.

Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

Indeed, these yogurt bites are perfect for planning ahead. You can make them up to a month in advance and store them in your freezer. Having a batch ready to go means you’re always prepared for unexpected guests or sudden snack cravings.

Substitutions & Variations

Not a fan of strawberries? Try using blueberries or raspberries instead.
If you’re vegan or dairy-free, swap the Greek yogurt for a plant-based alternative and use vegan chocolate.
For a different flavor profile, experiment with adding a dash of cinnamon or a sprinkle of chopped nuts to the yogurt mixture before freezing.

Helpful Cooking Notes

When cutting your strawberries, aim for uniform size for even freezing.
Ensure your yogurt mixture is smooth and well-combined for the best texture.
When coating with chocolate, work quickly to prevent the bites from melting.
If your chocolate starts to harden while coating, a quick 10-second blast in the microwave can make it smooth again.
Remember, these bites are rich, so keeping them bite-sized is key for the perfect snack portion.
