Equipment
- Sharp kitchen knife For chopping strawberries
- Wooden cutting board
- Medium mixing bowl To combine the fruit and yogurt
- Baking sheet Or large flat plate
- Parchment paper To prevent sticking
- Microwave-safe bowl For melting the chocolate
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Fork For dipping the bites into chocolate
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, chopped into very small, bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, thick and creamy
- 1 tablespoon pure honey, adds natural sweetness
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark or milk chocolate works too
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, helps the chocolate melt smoothly
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
Chop the Strawberries
- Wash your fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife to chop them into very small, even pieces on your cutting board.
Mix Berry and Yogurt
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, vanilla Greek yogurt, and honey. Stir gently with a spoon until the berry pieces are completely coated in the sweet, creamy yogurt.
Scoop onto Parchment
- Line your baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture into small, round dollops onto the paper, spacing them slightly apart.
Freeze the Yogurt Dollops
- Place the baking sheet flat into your freezer for about ninety minutes. Leave them inside until the yogurt bites are completely solid, firm, and easy to lift off the parchment paper.
Melt the Chocolate
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in thirty-second bursts, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and liquid.
Dip in Melted Chocolate
- Work quickly to dip each frozen yogurt bite into the warm, melted chocolate using a fork. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before placing the bite back on the parchment.
Sprinkle and Set
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the wet chocolate immediately if you like. The cold yogurt will make the chocolate shell harden and set in just a few seconds.
Freeze and Enjoy
- Return the fully dipped chocolate bites to the freezer for another fifteen minutes to set completely. Once they are firm, serve them immediately or store them away for later.
Notes
- Make sure your chopped strawberries are completely dry before mixing them with the yogurt.
- Try using strawberry or coconut Greek yogurt to add a different depth of flavor.
- Sprinkle crushed peanuts, toasted coconut flakes, or sprinkles on the chocolate before it sets.
- Use your favorite plant-based coconut or almond milk yogurt for a dairy-free version.
- Always keep these chocolate-dipped bites stored safely in the freezer so they do not melt.
