Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s the magic: with just a few ingredients, every component of this recipe shines through. Each one is essential — bringing color, flavor, and irresistible texture to your Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites.
- Fresh diced strawberries: Ripe, juicy strawberries bring vibrant color and a naturally sweet-tart burst to each bite.
- Strawberry Greek yogurt: Thick and creamy, this yogurt amps up the strawberry flavor while giving the bites a smooth, rich base.
- Dark chocolate chips: Deep and slightly bitter chocolate provides the perfect contrast to the sweet fruit and creamy yogurt.
- Coconut oil (optional): Just a little can make your melted chocolate smoother and easier to coat the bites evenly.
- Sea salt (optional): A sprinkle on top enhances the chocolate and adds a playful, crave-worthy finish.
How to Make Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites
Step 1: Prep Your Workspace
Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper — this simple step keeps the yogurt bites from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. So, grab your sheet and set it aside for quick assembly.
Step 2: Make the Yogurt Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine your freshly diced strawberries and strawberry Greek yogurt. Give it a good mix so every strawberry is well-coated in the creamy yogurt. This blend is the heart and soul of your Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites!
Step 3: Form and Freeze the Bites
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop dollops of the yogurt-strawberry mixture onto your prepared sheet. Each one should be around two inches wide for that perfect bite-size treat. Pop the tray into your freezer and let the bites freeze solid — about 30 minutes is all you need.
Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
Place your dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil if you like a silkier finish. Microwave in short, 30-second bursts, stirring after each interval. Once melted and glossy, let the chocolate cool just slightly for a few minutes so it doesn’t melt your frozen bites.
Step 5: Dip and Finish
Take your frozen clusters from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each one into the melted chocolate, turning to coat it completely. Place each finished bite back on the sheet, then quickly sprinkle with a touch of sea salt if you love that sweet-salty combo. All that’s left? Wait a few minutes for the chocolate to harden — then dig in!
How to Serve Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites
Garnishes
For a fun finish, try topping your Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites with an extra sprinkle of flaky sea salt or some crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Even a dusting of cocoa powder or a drizzle of white chocolate can make each bite feel a little extra special.
Side Dishes
Turn these bites into a stunning dessert platter by pairing them with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a bowl of mixed nuts. They’re also fabulous alongside a hot cup of coffee or a sparkling flavored water for a light afternoon treat.
Creative Ways to Present
Serve the bites layered in a tall glass with more fresh fruit for a simple parfait, or pile them up in a decorative bowl nested in ice for summer parties. You can also skewer them on sticks for a portable, party-friendly twist!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Leftover Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites can be kept in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to four days. Just make sure they’re separated by parchment so they don’t stick together and lose their beautiful finish.
Freezing
For longer storage, freeze the bites in a single layer between sheets of parchment paper in a freezer-safe container. They’ll keep wonderfully for up to one month, making them an ideal make-ahead snack or late-night treat.
Reheating
No reheating needed! These bites are meant to be enjoyed straight from the fridge or — for maximum refreshment — right out of the freezer. If they’re a bit too firm, let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before serving.
FAQs
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them very well. Excess moisture can make the yogurt mixture runny, so pat the berries dry with a paper towel before mixing in.
What type of chocolate works best?
Dark chocolate is classic, but semi-sweet or even milk chocolate chips work if you prefer a sweeter bite. Choose good-quality chips for the best flavor and a smooth finish.
Can I switch up the yogurt flavor?
Absolutely! While strawberry Greek yogurt doubles down on the berry flavor, vanilla, plain, or even coconut yogurt are delicious swaps that can put your own spin on these Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites.
How do I prevent the chocolate from slipping off?
Make sure your yogurt bites are frozen solid before dipping and let any excess chocolate drip off before setting them back down. Melting the chocolate with a little coconut oil also helps it cling beautifully.
Are Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites gluten-free?
Yes! This recipe is naturally gluten-free as long as you double-check that your chocolate chips and Greek yogurt are certified gluten-free.
Final Thoughts
If you’re after a treat that’s as stunning as it is simple, Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites are sure to win you (and everyone you share them with) over. Give them a try — you’ll adore how easily they come together and how quickly they disappear!
