There’s something undeniably comforting about discovering a recipe that feels both nostalgic and new—like a forgotten favorite reimagined. These frozen peanut butter Greek yogurt bites came into my life on one of those late spring afternoons when the air was just starting to hum with summer’s promise. The kind of day when your windows are wide open, the sunlight floods the kitchen, and you’re craving something refreshing but not overly indulgent.
I created these bites in a spur-of-the-moment experiment to tame my post-lunch sweet tooth. I wanted something that reminded me of childhood peanut butter cups but with the tangy, grown-up twist of Greek yogurt. What emerged was something even better—a cool, creamy treat that quickly became a freezer staple.
They’ve become a part of our family rhythm. After soccer games, my kids rush to the freezer and fish out these bites, balancing them carefully on tiny plates. My partner sneaks one before dinner (thinking I don’t notice), and I find myself reaching for one during that quiet, magical moment between afternoon chaos and evening calm. They are more than just snacks; they’re tiny moments of joy, frozen into little scoops of happiness.

Ingredients
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup powdered peanut butter
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
Step 1: Create the Creamy Base
In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, powdered peanut butter, and maple syrup. Use a spatula or spoon to blend until smooth and velvety, with no streaks remaining. The mixture should be thick and scoopable, like soft ice cream.
Step 2: Shape and Freeze
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to portion the yogurt mixture into bite-sized mounds. Place them spaced out on the tray and freeze for at least 1 to 1.5 hours until firm to the touch.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each round, until the chocolate is fully melted and silky.
Step 4: Coat or Drizzle
Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Dip each one into the melted chocolate for a full coating or drizzle it generously over the tops for a lighter touch. Both methods are delicious and offer a satisfying snap when you bite in.
Step 5: Final Freeze and Sprinkle
Place the chocolate-covered bites back on the tray and return to the freezer for another 10 minutes, just until the chocolate sets. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on each bite while the chocolate is still tacky for an extra flavor pop.
Notes
-
Swap the nut butter: Almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter all work well.
-
Add-ins: Mix in chia seeds, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips for texture.
-
Make it vegan: Use plant-based yogurt and dairy-free chocolate.
