Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites Ingredients
- 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- ½ cup mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries, diced)
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smoother melting)
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut
How to Make Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites
Step 1: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture
In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if using, and gently fold in the mixed berries. The yogurt should be creamy and the berries evenly distributed.
Step 2: Portion and Freeze the Yogurt Bites
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of yogurt mixture onto the sheet, leaving space between each. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and silky-smooth (about 1-2 minutes total). For stovetop melting, see this chocolate melting guide.
Step 4: Dip the Frozen Yogurt Bites
Working quickly, dip each frozen yogurt bite in the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat and letting any excess drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet. Immediately sprinkle with your chosen toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
Step 5: Refreeze and Serve
Return the chocolate-dipped bites to the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate sets. Enjoy straight from the freezer for the best texture!
Notes for Perfect Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites

- To make vegan-friendly bites, use dairy-free yogurt and chocolate. Learn more about dairy-free yogurt options.
- If your chocolate starts to thicken, reheat it gently in the microwave for smooth dipping.
Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites Variations
- Peanut Butter Swirl: Add a swirl of peanut butter into the yogurt before freezing for a nutty twist.

Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites FAQ
- Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt? Yes, but Greek yogurt is thicker and will hold its shape better—strain regular yogurt if needed.
- How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking? Make sure the yogurt bites are very cold, but not icy-hard, and let the chocolate cool slightly before dipping.
- Can I make these ahead for parties? Absolutely! Freeze in advance and dip in chocolate the day of your event for ultimate freshness.
