Ingredients
Frozen Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup non-dairy yogurt (plain and unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional)
- 1/4 cup cashew butter (or any nut/seed butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
Chocolate Coating
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, combine the non-dairy yogurt, protein powder (if using), cashew butter, vanilla bean paste, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute evenly.
- Scoop the Mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium to large cookie scoop to drop dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for easy freezing.
- Freeze the Yogurt Bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the yogurt mixture solidify for at least 1 hour, ensuring the bites are fully frozen before proceeding.
- Melt Chocolate Coating: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Heat gently until melted and smooth, stirring to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Dip the Frozen Bites: Remove the solid frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and individually dip each into the melted chocolate, fully coating them. Transfer the coated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Final Freeze: Return the dipped bites to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden completely. Store the finished bites in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute cashew butter with almond or peanut butter as preferred.
- Use maple syrup or honey depending on your dietary preference or availability.
- Protein powder is optional but adds extra nutritional value.
- To melt chocolate gently, avoid overheating which can cause burning; stir frequently.
- Store bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- For a vegan version, ensure chocolate chips and protein powder are plant-based.
