Ingredients You’ll Need

One of my favorite things about making Frozen Yogurt Bites? The ingredient list is short and sweet, but each element is essential. Every ingredient brings something irresistible to the table—creamy richness, fruity brightness, crunchy texture, or a decadent chocolatey finish!

• Vegan Vanilla Yogurt: The creamy, tangy base sets the stage for flavor and acts as the main binder—use any plant-based yogurt you love!
• Raspberries: These add bursts of tart sweetness and gorgeous pops of color in every bite.
• Blueberries: Sweet, juicy, and antioxidant-rich, they pair beautifully with both the yogurt and the chocolate shell.
• Protein Crispies: Think of these like crunchy granola’s cooler cousin—adding irresistible texture and a satisfying protein boost.
• Dark Chocolate: Melted for dipping or drizzling, it creates a luscious shell that contrasts the cold, creamy center.

Variations

One of the best things about these Frozen Yogurt Bites is how easily you can make them your own. Don’t be afraid to get creative—swap ingredients to suit your mood, your pantry, or your dietary needs. There’s a whole world of delicious combos waiting to be explored.

• Chocolate-Free Version: Skip the chocolate shell entirely or drizzle just a little to let the fruit flavors shine and lower the carbs further.
• Different Berries: Use strawberries, blackberries, or chopped cherries for a fresh twist—whatever’s in season or on hand works beautifully!
• Granola or Nuts Instead of Protein Crispies: Swap in your favorite granola, chopped roasted nuts, or even toasted coconut for a new texture and flavor profile.
• Low-Sugar: Go for unsweetened soy or almond yogurt and add pure vanilla extract to control the sweetness level to your liking.

How to Make Frozen Yogurt Bites

Step 1: Gently Mix Your Base

In a medium bowl, carefully fold together the vegan vanilla yogurt, raspberries, blueberries, and protein crispies. Try not to crush the berries too much—you want little explosions of flavor and pockets of crunch in each bite. This gentle mixing keeps the colors vibrant and the bites delightfully chewy.

Step 2: Shape and Freeze

Line a freezer-safe tray with cling film or parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop small blobs of your yogurt-berry mixture onto the tray, leaving space between each. Don’t stress about perfection—they’re supposed to look rustic! Place in the freezer and let them set up for at least 4 hours, until completely firm and easy to handle.

Step 3: Melt the Dark Chocolate

About 10 minutes before your bites are solid, break the dark chocolate into pieces and gently melt it using a bain-marie: place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of hot (not boiling) water and stir until perfectly smooth. This slow melting method helps keep the chocolate glossy and luscious.

Step 4: Dip or Drizzle

Take the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and, working quickly, dip each one in the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over the tops. The cold surface will harden the chocolate instantly—so satisfying! Return bites to the tray once they’re coated as you go.

Step 5: Final Freeze & Store

Pop your chocolate-coated bites back into the freezer for another 15-20 minutes, just long enough for the shell to firm up. Once set, transfer them into an airtight container or reusable freezer bag for easy snacking whenever the craving hits.

How to Serve Frozen Yogurt Bites

Garnishes

A cute little dusting of freeze-dried raspberry powder, a drizzle of melted white chocolate, or a sprinkle of coconut flakes on top of your Frozen Yogurt Bites can make them look bakery-worthy. If you’re feeling fancy, press a fresh blueberry or edible flower onto the chocolate before it sets for a pop of charm.

Side Dishes

Frozen Yogurt Bites are perfect as a solo snack or dessert, but they shine alongside other picnic snacks like fruit salad, crispy rice treats, or even piled next to muffins for a brunchy spread. For a fun twist, serve them over a bowl of chia pudding or with homemade granola for a play on breakfast-for-dessert.

Creative Ways to Present

Try stacking these bites high on a cake stand for a birthday or special gathering—it’s eye-catching and encourages guests to grab and go! For kids, skewer several on a stick like a frozen “kebob,” or pack a small bag of bites in a lunchbox straight from the freezer for a chilly afternoon treat. The possibilities with Frozen Yogurt Bites are as fun as they are tasty!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover bites in a resealable freezer bag or airtight container—layer them with parchment paper for easy grabbing and to keep the chocolate shells intact. They’ll keep their texture and flavor for up to two weeks (if they last that long!), making them perfect for snacking any time.

Freezing

These Frozen Yogurt Bites freeze beautifully—just remember to set them on a tray first, and once fully frozen, consolidate them into a container to save space. No need to thaw before eating; they’re meant to be enjoyed straight from the freezer for that perfect, frosty crunch.

Reheating

No reheating needed! If you prefer, you can let your bites sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to slightly soften before enjoying, but honestly, these are best devoured straight from the freezer for maximum coolness and crunch.
