Delicious: The creamy-fruity yogurt base, nutty peanut butter layer, and chocolate shell create an irresistible flavor combination that rivals any premium ice cream shop creation.
Key Healthy Swaps & Tips
Coconut Yogurt Power: We’re using plain coconut yogurt instead of traditional dairy yogurt or ice cream. This plant-based swap keeps things dairy-free while delivering beneficial probiotics for gut health. The natural creaminess of coconut yogurt creates that perfect frozen texture without any artificial stabilizers.
Dark Chocolate Benefits: That chocolate coating isn’t just delicious—it’s packed with flavonoids and antioxidants. Choose dark or semi-sweet chocolate with at least 60% cacao for maximum health benefits. The bittersweet chocolate perfectly balances the fruity sweetness of the strawberries and maple syrup.
How to Make These Addictive Frozen Bites
Start by whisking together your coconut yogurt, freshly diced strawberries, and maple syrup in a medium bowl. The strawberries should be chopped into small pieces so they distribute evenly throughout each bite. Don’t skip the fresh berries—frozen strawberries release too much moisture and create icy clusters.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze). Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop 2-tablespoon portions of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. You should get about 12 clusters. Pop the pan into the freezer for 2 hours until they’re completely solid.
Here’s where it gets fun: remove the pan and crown each frozen cluster with about a teaspoon of creamy peanut butter. Return to the freezer for another 2 hours. This double-freeze method ensures the peanut butter stays put when you add the chocolate coating.
Melt your chocolate chips in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy. Take the clusters out one final time and dip the bottom of each bite into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper, chocolate-side down.
For that final touch of elegance (and extra antioxidants!), sprinkle the tops with raspberry powder. The tart raspberry flavor complements the sweet strawberries beautifully. Freeze for a final 30 minutes to set the chocolate, then transfer to an airtight container.
Keep these stored in the freezer and grab one whenever you need a quick sweet fix. They’re perfect straight from the freezer—the texture is like frozen yogurt bark meets a chocolate-covered strawberry.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the coconut yogurt, diced strawberries, and maple syrup until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop 2-tablespoon-sized portions of the yogurt mixture onto the sheet to form 12 clusters, spacing them evenly.
- Freeze for 2 hours, or until completely solid.
- Remove the pan from the freezer. Top each frozen cluster with about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter, creating a small mound on top.
- Return the pan to the freezer for another 2 hours until the peanut butter is firm.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Remove the clusters from the freezer and dip the bottom of each one into the melted chocolate. Place them back on the parchment paper, chocolate-side down.
- Immediately sprinkle the tops with raspberry powder while the chocolate is still tacky.
- Return the pan to the freezer for a final 30 minutes to set the chocolate completely.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Enjoy straight from the freezer!
Notes
- Storage: Keep these bites in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. They’re best enjoyed frozen—no need to thaw!
- Substitutions: Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter for nut-free options. Any plain plant-based yogurt works here (almond, soy, or oat yogurt).
- Variations: Try different berries like raspberries or blueberries, or mix in mini chocolate chips to the yogurt base for extra chocolate flavor throughout.
