Ingredients
Scale
Dairy:
- 2 cups greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Fruits and Chocolate:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
Sweeteners and Extras:
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring a smooth, flat surface for freezing the yogurt bites.
- Dice fresh strawberries into small, uniform pieces to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine greek yogurt, cream cheese, and heavy cream, whisking until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in honey, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and salt, stirring gently to create a consistent sweet base.
- Gently incorporate chopped strawberries into the yogurt mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Melt dark and white chocolate chips separately using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until completely smooth.
- Dollop the yogurt-strawberry mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, creating bite-sized rounds approximately 1-2 inches in diameter.
- Drizzle melted dark and white chocolate over each yogurt bite, creating a decorative swirl pattern.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt bites are completely firm and set.
- Remove from freezer 5 minutes before serving to allow slight softening, making them easier to bite into.
- Store remaining yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are fresh and ripe for maximum flavor intensity and natural sweetness.
- Use full-fat greek yogurt and cream cheese to create a rich, creamy texture that holds its shape perfectly.
- Chop strawberries into tiny, consistent pieces to distribute evenly and prevent large frozen chunks.
- Experiment with different chocolate types like milk chocolate or dark chocolate with sea salt for unique flavor variations.
- For a vegan option, substitute dairy ingredients with coconut yogurt, cashew cream cheese, and dairy-free chocolate.
- Line baking sheet with silicone mat for easier removal and cleaner presentation of frozen yogurt bites.
- Control sweetness by adjusting honey and powdered sugar quantities to suit personal taste preferences.
- Allow slight thawing before serving to achieve optimal creamy-soft texture that melts smoothly in your mouth.
