How to Make It

Create your chocolate-coated strawberry bites in just a few simple steps.

Mix the yogurt mixture

Combine yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Fold in the diced strawberries until evenly distributed.

Spoon the mixture

Spoon the yogurt mixture into an ice cube tray or candy molds, filling each space completely. If you don’t have trays, spoon it onto a tray, leaving a bit of room to spread, aiming for about 1 heaped tablespoon per bite.

Freeze the bites

Place the tray or tray in the freezer and let it freeze for 1-2 hours, until solid.

Melt the chocolate

Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Add coconut oil for a glossy finish.

Dip the bites

Take the frozen yogurt bites out of the freezer and dip them into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are well coated. Place each coated bite on a piece of parchment paper.

Add finishing touches

Sprinkle with sea salt if desired, then return to the freezer for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.

Store the bites

Once set, transfer the yogurt bites to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 week.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure strawberries are diced small for better texture in every bite.
• Sweeten to taste by adjusting the amount of maple syrup.
• Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
• Make sure the yogurt bites are completely frozen before dipping to avoid melting.
