Ingredients
Method
- Start by combining your chopped strawberries and strawberry Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture until the strawberries are well coated, forming a thick and creamy filling. This blend delivers a balance of natural sweetness, tartness, and rich texture, making every bite both indulgent and refreshing.
- Next, scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to portion out 2-inch clusters—this recipe should yield about 8 bites. Leave a bit of space between each cluster so they freeze evenly. Transfer the tray to the freezer and let them firm up for at least 30 minutes or until completely frozen solid.
- Dipping in Chocolate
- While the yogurt bites are chilling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and silky. For best results, let the chocolate cool slightly for 3–5 minutes before dipping—this helps it cling better without causing the frozen bites to melt.
- Once the yogurt bites are fully frozen, dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a spoon or fork to coat them evenly. Place the coated clusters back onto the lined baking sheet. Optional: Sprinkle a touch of flaky sea salt over the top before the chocolate sets. Let them rest at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, about 5–10 minutes.
Notes
Use fresh fruit: Frozen strawberries tend to become watery and mushy when thawed, which can cause your bites to fall apart. Always stick to fresh, ripe strawberries for best results.
Even clusters freeze best: Use a scoop or tablespoon to create uniform yogurt clusters, which not only freeze evenly but also look neat and polished once coated in chocolate.
Freeze thoroughly: Don’t rush the freezing step. If the yogurt bites are even slightly soft, they’ll fall apart in the chocolate. Make sure they’re rock solid before you start dipping.
Let chocolate cool before dipping: A slightly cooled, thickened chocolate will coat the bites more evenly and help keep the yogurt centers intact.
Fun Flavor Variations
