Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites with Cookie Butter Recipe
Introduction
These Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites with Cookie Butter are a delicious and refreshing treat perfect for warm days or whenever you crave a sweet snack. Combining creamy yogurt, rich cookie butter, and a chocolate coating, they offer a delightful balance of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup crunchy cookie butter (or your favorite nut butter, warmed for 15-20 seconds to become pourable)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp canola oil (or coconut oil)
- Flaky sea salt (for serving)
Instructions
- Step 1: Make the yogurt filling by combining the Greek yogurt and cookie butter in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well blended, then gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Step 2: Use a standard cookie scoop to portion the filling into equal-sized bites. Place each bite on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
- Step 3: Temper the chocolate by placing the chocolate chips and canola oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Step 4: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and dip each into the melted chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Return the bites to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to set or store frozen for up to 2 weeks.
Tips & Variations
- Try using almond or peanut butter instead of cookie butter for a different flavor twist.
- Swap fresh blueberries for raspberries or chopped strawberries for variety.
- Use dark chocolate chips if you prefer a richer chocolate coating.
- Ensure the cookie butter is slightly warmed so it mixes easily with the yogurt for a smooth filling.
Storage
Store the frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, allow them to sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes if they’re too hard, or eat straight from the freezer for a firm treat.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use non-dairy yogurt for this recipe?
Yes, non-dairy yogurts like coconut or almond-based options can work well, though texture and flavor may vary slightly.
How do I prevent the chocolate from melting too quickly when coating the bites?
Work quickly when dipping and keep the yogurt bites frozen until right before dipping. Also, be sure the chocolate isn’t too hot, as very warm chocolate can cause the bites to soften.
