My Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites are perfect for when you just need a little treat at the end of the day. Creamy yogurt mixed with fresh strawberries, swirled with chocolate and frozen atop a “crust” of granola, they’re a treat you’ll want in your freezer all summer long!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a real ice cream addict. I’d rather have a good scoop of real ice cream than a whole pint of one of those weird “ice cream substitutes” that only leaves me wishing I could still have ice cream. You know?
But, I also love fun, lighter treats. Like Chocolate Dipped Frozen Banana Bites. And these Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bites.
I guess you can say I was inspired by my strawberry picking adventure! And the ice cream I made right afterwards…
Here is a SUPER simple treat for you: crunchy granola, chocolate, fresh strawberries and Greek yogurt!
There are a few tricks to this treat. First, use a granola that doesn’t have fruit in it. I like my Oatmeal Cookie Granola or LOVE Grown Foods Cocoa Goodness Granola.
Next, use whole milk or 2% Greek yogurt. NOT non-fat. If you use non-fat you’ll get a bite that is just too sour and too crystallized. I used Fage plain for these and I love it!
Finally, use a silicone cube tray. That way, when they are frozen and ready, you can just pop them out easily!
No wait…I have another “finally”…I’d say, be totally chill while making these. As in, just have fun with it! Drizzle your chocolate, make a bit of a mess, lick your fingers (I won’t tell), eat a bunch of strawberries while attempting to fold some into the yogurt. Just do it. And then when they’re frozen and ready, let them sit on the counter for a few minutes to be “biteable” and have fun eating them!
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat or 2%)
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup diced fresh strawberries
- ¼ cup gluten free granola*
- Use a silicone cube tray (mine was 1.5” cubes). Drop 1 Tbs of granola into the bottom of 4 of the squares. Make sure it is in an even layer in the bottom.
- Melt your chocolate chips. I microwaved mine in 30sec intervals until melted and smooth. Swirl a tiny bit of chocolate on top of the granola layer (I did this to add a binding layer of chocolate before the yogurt. I used maybe ½ tsp of chocolate per square.)
- Next, in a bowl, stir together the yogurt and strawberries. Add almost all of the rest of the chocolate, reserving a couple teaspoons to use on top. Give the yogurt one or two quick stirs, so the chocolate swirls in but isn’t fully combined. Divide the yogurt among the 4 cubes on top of the granola layer, pressing it down as you fill so everything is compacting.
- Finally, swirl on the last of the chocolate on top of the squares.
- Freeze for a few hours, until firm. I froze mine for 4 hours before removing them.
- Pop the cubes out of the mold and enjoy! You can keep extras in an air-tight freezer bag in the freezer.
- *Use granola that doesn’t have fruit in it, like my Oatmeal Cookie Granola without the raisins or LOVE Grown Foods Cocoa Goodness Granola! I used a mix of both.
These look so good! Perfect for a cool snack or dessert!
