This simple and delicious recipe for Vegan Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Bites is perfect for a refreshing treat. It combines fresh strawberries, dairy-free yogurt, and a chocolate coating, making it a delightful snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- For the Strawberry Yogurt Filling:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 cup dairy-free yogurt (e.g., coconut or soy yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
- For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1½ cups dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash and chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries with dairy-free yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix well until the strawberries are evenly coated.
Form the Bites:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, scoop out small amounts of the strawberry yogurt mixture and drop them onto the lined baking sheet. You can shape them into small balls or blobs.
Freeze:
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-4 hours or until the bites are fully frozen.
Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips together with coconut oil until smooth. Stir well to combine.
Coat the Bites:
- Remove the frozen strawberry yogurt bites from the freezer. One at a time, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and let any excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Finish and Serve:
- If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the chocolate-coated bites while they are still wet. Return them to the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Enjoy:
- Once set, your Vegan Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
These bites are not only easy to make but also customizable with different fruits or toppings based on your preference!
