2. Gently fold in the chocolate chips to keep their shape.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

These Double Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Bites are wonderful on their own but can be made even more personalized! Try serving them with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for added crunch. A side of fresh berries pairs deliciously with the chocolate, making your treat feel gourmet.

How to Store

You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer where they will stay fresh for up to a month. Just be sure to separate the bites with a piece of parchment paper if you’re stacking them, to prevent them from sticking together. These bites are best enjoyed directly from the freezer!

Helpful Cooking Tips

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture.
• Don’t rush the freezing process – let them freeze completely for the best consistency.
• Consider pre-mixing the cocoa with a bit of the Greek yogurt before combining to ensure even chocolate flavor without clumping.

Recipe Variations

Feel free to get creative with your ingredients. Try adding in some peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty twist. You can also swap cocoa powder for carob powder for a unique flavor. Other options include adding chopped fruits like bananas or strawberries for an extra pop of flavor!
