Here’s What You Need
Round up these 5 ingredients and get your kitchen ready!
Ingredients
Here are the simple ingredients to gather up:
- Plain Greek yogurt or Blended Cottage Cheese (just puree cottage cheese in the blender!).
- Maple syrup: Adds natural sweetness to the yogurt. The amount can be adjusted based on how sweet you like the bites.
- Finely-chopped strawberries: Fresh strawberries add a burst of fruity flavor and a yummy texture. Finely chopping them ensures they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.
- Dark chocolate chips: Used for coating the frozen yogurt bites, giving the bites a rich, slightly bitter contrast to the sweet yogurt and strawberries. Dark chocolate goes perfectly with the tartness of the yogurt and the sweetness of the strawberries.
- Coconut oil: Mixed with the dark chocolate chips to help them melt smoothly and achieve a glossy finish. It also helps the chocolate coating set firmly when frozen.
Substitutions and Variations
Here are a couple of swaps you can make:
- Greek yogurt: You can substitute any type of plain or flavored yogurt. Vanilla yogurt is delicious, too! For a dairy-free option, use coconut, almond, or soy yogurt. Just make sure it’s thick.
- Maple syrup: Honey, agave nectar, or any liquid sweetener can be used as an alternative to maple syrup. Adjust the amount to taste.
- Strawberries: Swap with fresh or frozen berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or chopped cherries. Diced mango, peaches, or kiwi are yummy, too.
- Dark chocolate chips: If you prefer a sweeter coating, use milk chocolate, white chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Flavor additions: For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the yogurt mixture. A sprinkle of sea salt on the chocolate coating is a grown-up touch.
- Superfood boost: Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds to the yogurt mixture.
Tools to Grab
Round up these basic pieces of equipment:
- Mixing bowl: To mix the yogurt filling.

How to Make Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Bites : An Easy Guide
Check out this simple guideline to making this recipe:
Freeze Greek yogurt mixture
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt and maple syrup.
Add strawberries
Gently mix in the chopped strawberries.
Shape clusters
Spoon small amounts of the mixture onto a lined and prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 1-2 hours until solid.
Make chocolate coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil—microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth.
Dip clusters
Take the frozen yogurt clusters out of the freezer. Dip each one into the melted chocolate, making sure they are fully coated.
Final freeze
Place the coated clusters back on the parchment paper lined sheet and freeze for another hour or until the chocolate is set.
Make Ahead and Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. They will last around three months in the freezer. Take care not to crash and smash them—it’s a good idea to keep them in a sturdy container that can protect them.
How to Serve these Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Bites
Serve them as a little sweet treat after dinner or as an afternoon pick-me-up. They’re a healthy snack for kiddies with the tiniest touch of chocolate.
Final Notes, Pro Tips + Science-Based Secrets
As a food scientist, I love sharing my tips, tricks, and knowledge with you:
- Use thick Greek yogurt: Go for thick Greek yogurt to ensure the yogurt bites hold their shape well when frozen. If the yogurt is too thin, the bites may become too soft and mushy.
- Thoroughly dry the strawberries: Properly pat the chopped strawberries dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps prevent the yogurt mixture from becoming too watery.
- Re-warm the chocolate: The melted chocolate mixture will cool slightly while dipping the frozen yogurt clusters. As it thickens up, it’ll make a lumpier, thicker coating. Microwave it as needed for 30 seconds on 50% power to rewarm it and ensure a thin, smooth and even coating.
FAQs About Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Bites
Just skimming through? Don’t miss these Q&As:
Yes, frozen strawberries can be used instead of fresh. Just be sure to thaw and drain them well before chopping and mixing with the yogurt to prevent excess moisture in the mixture.
These yogurt bites can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks. However, for the best taste and texture, I recommend eating them within the first week.
Yes, flavoured yoghurt can be used if preferred. Just keep in mind that flavoured yoghurt may contain added sugars, which could affect the overall sweetness of the bites. Adjust the amount of maple syrup accordingly to balance the sweetness.
Yes! While the chocolate coating adds a delicious layer of flavour, you can leave it out if you like. Simply freeze the yogurt and strawberry mixture in clusters without dipping them in chocolate.
Yes, you can use other fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, or chopped cherries. Just be sure to adjust the sweetness level accordingly, as some fruits may be sweeter or more tart than strawberries.
Yes, you can use dairy-free yoghurt alternatives such as coconut, almond, or soy yoghurt to make these bites dairy-free. Just make sure the yoghurt has a thick consistency similar to Greek yoghurt for best results.

Any fruit you like could be swapped in as long as it is chopped in small pieces! Mango is great (I like it with white chocolate instead of dark) and raspberry is a favorite.
