Introduction

This Cookie Dough Frozen treat is a deliciously creamy and satisfying snack that combines the fun of cookie dough with the refreshing chill of frozen yogurt. Perfect for a healthy dessert or an energy-boosting bite, it’s simple to make and sure to please everyone.

Ingredients

• 1 cup non-dairy yogurt (plain and unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup cashew butter (or any nut/seed butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: Add all frozen yogurt ingredients except the chocolate chips to a bowl and mix until smooth and combined. Then, gently stir in the chocolate chips.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium to large cookie scoop to place dollops of the mixture onto the sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
3. Step 3: Freeze the baking sheet for at least 1 hour, or until the yogurt bites are completely solid.
4. Step 4: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Remove the frozen bites from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Place them back onto the baking sheet.
5. Step 5: Return the coated bites to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Store in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• For a nut-free version, substitute cashew butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
• Add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the frozen yogurt mixture for extra texture.
• Use dairy chocolate chips or vegan ones to suit your dietary preferences.

Storage

Frozen Yogurt Mixture

• 1 cup non-dairy yogurt (plain and unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup cashew butter (or any nut/seed butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

1. Mix Frozen Yogurt Base: Add all frozen yogurt ingredients except the chocolate chips into a bowl and mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Then gently stir in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute throughout the mixture.
2. Scoop the Mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Use a medium-large cookie scoop to scoop dollops of the frozen yogurt mixture onto the sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for freezing.
3. Freeze the Bites: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until the yogurt bites are completely solid and firm to the touch.
4. Melt Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt together the chocolate chips and coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Stir well to ensure no lumps remain.
5. Dip and Coat: Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Dip each solid bite into the melted chocolate mixture to fully coat it, then place it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Final Freeze: Return the coated bites to the freezer for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating has hardened completely.
7. Store and Serve: Store the frozen yogurt bites in the freezer until ready to enjoy. They can be eaten straight from the freezer as a refreshing and tasty treat.
