How to Make It

Mix yogurt ingredients

Combine all frozen yogurt ingredients except the mini chocolate chips in a bowl and mix until smooth and combined.

Stir in chocolate chips

Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Scoop the mixture

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium-large cookie scoop to dollop the frozen yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing each dollop apart slightly.

Freeze bites

Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the yogurt is completely solid.

Melt chocolate

Melt together the chocolate chips and coconut oil in either the microwave or over a double boiler until completely smooth.

Dip in chocolate

Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate to coat them thoroughly. Transfer them back to the baking sheet.

Harden chocolate

Once all frozen yogurt bites have been coated in chocolate, return the baking sheet to the freezer for at least another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Freezer: Yes, they freeze well for a longer shelf life.
Reheat: No need to reheat; enjoy straight from the freezer.

Tips for Best Results

• Make sure to mix the yogurt ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth texture.
• Avoid overcrowding your baking sheet to prevent the bites from sticking together.

• For added texture, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the chocolate before freezing.
