Ingredients
Ready to get your snack on? Here’s what you’ll need to make these Dark Chocolate & Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Bites:
For the Bites:
- Greek Yogurt: Use plain or vanilla Greek yogurt for that thick, creamy texture that makes these bites extra indulgent.
- Fresh Blueberries: These juicy little gems add pops of flavor in every bite. You can also use frozen blueberries if that’s what you have on hand.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: A touch of sweetness to balance the tanginess of the yogurt (optional, depending on how sweet you like it).
- Vanilla Extract: For a hint of warmth and flavor.
For the Coating:
- Dark Chocolate: Go for at least 70% cocoa for that rich, slightly bitter taste that complements the sweetness of the yogurt and blueberries.
- Coconut Oil: Just a bit of coconut oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives it a nice, glossy finish (optional).

Instructions
Let’s get started on making these delightful Dark Chocolate & Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Bites:
Mix the Yogurt
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until it’s smooth and well mixed.
Prepare the Blueberries
Wash the blueberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. You want them to be as dry as possible so they won’t release too much water when freezing.
Assemble the Bites
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop out small dollops of the yogurt mixture and place them onto the parchment paper. Press a blueberry gently into the center of each yogurt dollop, making sure it’s slightly submerged. The blueberry should be nestled nicely in the yogurt.
Freeze the Bites
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the yogurt bites are completely frozen. You want them firm enough to hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.
Coat in Dark Chocolate
Once the yogurt bites are frozen, melt the dark chocolate with a bit of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s smooth and fully melted.
Carefully dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted dark chocolate, making sure to coat it evenly. Place the chocolate-covered bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If you like, you can sprinkle a little sea salt on top for a sweet-and-salty twist!
Freeze Again
Return the bites to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set. You’ll end up with smooth, shiny chocolate and perfectly frozen yogurt centers.
Serve and Enjoy
Once the chocolate is set, it’s time to enjoy! Serve these chilled, and savor every sweet, tangy, chocolatey bite.

Q10: Can I use flavored yogurt?
