Ingredients
  

Yogurt Base
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt plain, full-fat recommended
  • 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups fresh strawberries hulled and diced small
  • 1 pinch salt
Chocolate Coating
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate chips 70% cocoa recommended
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar optional
  • sea salt flakes optional for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Ice cream scoop or spoon
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
  2. Gently fold the diced strawberries into the yogurt mixture, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout. The mixture should be thick but spreadable.
  3. Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture into small mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Each portion should be roughly 2 tablespoons in size.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt bites are completely solid and hold their shape when touched.
  5. About 15 minutes before the yogurt bites are ready, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  6. Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Working quickly, use a fork or small spoon to dip each bite into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before returning to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. If desired, immediately sprinkle the chocolate-coated bites with sea salt flakes or a light dusting of powdered sugar while the chocolate is still wet.
  8. Return the coated bites to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate coating completely before serving or transferring to storage containers.

Notes

Store in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for easier eating. Can substitute strawberries with other berries as desired.
