Ingredients
Fruit and Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Toppings
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped peanuts
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Mix the Fruit and Yogurt: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped strawberries and blueberries. Add the Greek yogurt and stir well until the mixture is thoroughly combined and evenly distributed.
- Portion the Mixture: Using a 1/3-cup measuring scoop, place rounds of the yogurt and berry mixture onto a parchment-lined sheet pan or cutting board, ensuring they are spaced apart for easy freezing.
- Freeze the Bites: Place the tray in the freezer and allow the yogurt berry bites to freeze solid for 30 minutes. This step helps them hold their shape for decorating.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and drizzleable.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. One at a time, drizzle each bite with the melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with chopped peanuts and a pinch of flaky sea salt for added texture and flavor.
- Final Freeze and Storage: Return the decorated bites to the freezer for an additional 2 to 5 minutes to set the chocolate. Store the finished yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture or low-fat for fewer calories.
- Any fresh berries can be used in place of strawberries and blueberries.
- Ensure the chocolate is not overheated to prevent burning or seizing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
- Optionally, substitute peanuts with other chopped nuts or seeds for different textures.
