Timing

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Strawberries

Wash, hull, and halve the strawberries. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2: Mix Yogurt and Sweetener

In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until smooth.

Step 3: Coat Strawberries

Dip each strawberry half into the yogurt mixture, fully coating it. Use a fork or toothpick to help with dipping.

Step 4: Freeze Yogurt-Covered Strawberries

Place coated strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 1 hour or until firm.

Step 5: Melt Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Step 6: Dip Frozen Yogurt Bites in Chocolate

Remove frozen strawberries from the freezer. Quickly dip each bite into melted chocolate, then return to parchment paper.

Step 7: Final Freeze

Freeze for an additional 1–2 hours until the chocolate is set.
