Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh diced strawberries
  • 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
  • Sea salt (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Frozen Yogurt Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced fresh strawberries and strawberry Greek yogurt. Stir gently until well mixed to create a creamy strawberry-yogurt mixture.
  2. Form Bites and Freeze: Using a spoon, drop small clusters of the strawberry-yogurt mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the bites freeze for about 30 minutes or until they are solidly frozen.
  3. Melt Chocolate: While the bites are freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to create a smoother chocolate coating.
  4. Coat Frozen Bites with Chocolate: Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered. Place the chocolate-coated bites back onto the parchment paper on the baking sheet.
  5. Optional Garnish and Set: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each chocolate-coated bite to enhance the flavor. Allow the chocolate to harden by letting the baking sheet sit at room temperature for a few minutes or return briefly to the freezer.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, enjoy the tasty Chocolate Covered Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites as a refreshing, healthy snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Using coconut oil in the chocolate helps achieve a smoother and shinier coating but is optional.
  • For best texture, consume the bites soon after freezing and coating to avoid the yogurt melting.
  • Dark chocolate adds a rich flavor and is lower in sugar compared to milk chocolate.
  • Sea salt is optional but recommended to balance the sweetness and enhance flavor complexity.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
