Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites (Print Version)

Greek yogurt and peanut butter frozen into bites, coated in dark chocolate and sprinkled with flaky sea salt.

# What You'll Need:

→ Peanut Butter Yogurt Filling

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
03 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Dark Chocolate Coating

05 - 7 ounces dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
06 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)

→ Finishing

07 - Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and well blended.
03 - Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop heaping teaspoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Aim for approximately 24 uniform bites.
04 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the bites for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely firm and solid throughout.
05 - About 15 minutes before the freezing time is up, place the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
06 - Remove the frozen bites from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each frozen bite into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return each coated bite to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
07 - Immediately sprinkle the top of each chocolate-coated bite with flaky sea salt before the chocolate begins to set.
08 - Return the coated bites to the freezer for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is completely firm to the touch.
09 - Transfer the finished bites to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. Serve directly from the freezer or allow to thaw slightly for a creamier texture.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in minutes with zero baking, which means your kitchen stays cool and you get dessert almost instantly.
  • The sweet and salty combo hits every craving at once, making it nearly impossible to eat just one.
  • They store beautifully in the freezer for a month, so you always have something ready when guests drop by unexpectedly.
02 -
  • If the filling seems too soft to scoop neatly, refrigerate it for twenty minutes before portioning and it will firm up beautifully.
  • Work in small batches when dipping because the frozen bites warm up fast and start melting into the chocolate if you dawdle.
03 -
  • Chilling your mixing bowl before combining the filling helps everything come together faster and keeps the texture denser for scooping.
  • The coconut oil is technically optional but it makes the chocolate thinner and more cooperative, which means fewer bald spots on your finished bites.
