I was trying to find a quick, healthy snack for my toddler last summer that wasn’t just another boring fruit cup. After a few messy experiments with yogurt and berries, I landed on these delightful little bites.
They were an instant hit—my daughter couldn’t get enough, and I loved that they were both nutritious and easy to make. Now, they’re a staple in our freezer for those moments when we need something sweet but wholesome, much like our popular marshmallow brownies.
These Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Bites – Frozen Healthy Dessert are perfect for busy families, offering a refreshing treat that’s simple to prepare. You’ll appreciate how they satisfy sweet cravings without any added sugar, relying on natural fruit sweetness instead. They’re fantastic for parties, lunchboxes, or just a quick pick-me-up on a warm day.

What You’ll Need
When I first started making these, I learned that using high-quality ingredients makes all the difference. For the yogurt, I prefer full-fat Greek varieties because they freeze creamier and hold their shape better. If you’re shopping on a budget, store brands work well too—just check the labels to avoid added sugars. Fresh strawberries are ideal, but frozen ones can be thawed and drained if that’s what you have on hand.

Notes

Nutrition Information
You’ll need mixing bowls, a silicone mold or baking sheet, and basic utensils. The silicone mold is key for easy removal, but a lined baking sheet works in a pinch.
INGREDIENTS
Getting everything ready before you start makes the process so much smoother. I like to hull and chop the strawberries first, then measure out the yogurt and chocolate. It’s a simple step that prevents any last-minute scrambling and ensures your bites turn out perfectly every time.
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for smoother chocolate coating)
PREPARATION
One common mistake is rushing the freezing step—if the yogurt isn’t fully firm, the chocolate coating can cause melting. I learned this the hard way when my first batch turned into a messy puddle! Take your time here, and you’ll be rewarded with neat, beautiful bites that hold their shape. For more hands-off recipes, check out our Crock Pot Taco Chili that’s perfect for busy nights.
- In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, chopped strawberries, and honey (if using) until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into a silicone mold or drop small mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, coating evenly, and place them back on the sheet. Return to the freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Once firm, transfer the bites to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Customization Ideas
You can easily adapt this recipe to suit different tastes or dietary needs. Try using raspberries or blueberries instead of strawberries for a fun twist. If you’re avoiding dairy, coconut yogurt works wonderfully—just note it might be slightly icier. For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before the chocolate sets. I’ve even made a version with a hint of vanilla extract, and it was a big hit with my friends.
Storage and Serving Tips
Keep these bites in a sealed container in the freezer to prevent freezer burn. They’re best served straight from the freezer, as they thaw quickly at room temperature. I like to portion them into small bags for grab-and-go snacks, which is perfect for busy weekdays or packing in lunches. If you’re serving them at a gathering, arrange them on a chilled platter to keep them firm longer. For another elegant dessert option, try our Maple Pecan Pumpkin Brûlée Pie that’s sure to impress.
