I was experimenting with healthy snacks for my toddler last summer when I accidentally created these little gems. We had a surplus of fresh strawberries from the farmer’s market and some Greek yogurt that needed using up. What started as a quick kitchen experiment turned into our family’s favorite frozen treat. Now, these Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Bites: Frozen Berry Bliss Bombs! are my go-to when we need something sweet but wholesome. If you’re looking for more comforting recipes, you should definitely try our Outback-inspired potato soup with chicken and bacon for a savory option.
What I love about this recipe is how it satisfies that sweet tooth while being packed with protein and fruit. You get that delightful contrast between the creamy yogurt center and the rich chocolate shell, with the fresh strawberry adding a burst of natural sweetness. They’re perfect for those after-school hunger pangs or when you need a quick pick-me-up during a busy workday.

What You’ll Need
When I first started making these sweet snacks, I learned that having the right equipment makes all the difference. A good quality silicone mold with small cavities gives you those perfect dome shapes that look so appealing. I’ve tried various brands, but the ones with flexible bottoms make popping out the frozen yogurt bites so much easier. You’ll also want parchment paper for the final dipping stage – it prevents sticking and makes cleanup simple.
For this no bake desserts recipe, you’ll need basic kitchen tools: a medium mixing bowl, measuring cups and spoons, a small saucepan for melting chocolate, and a baking sheet that fits in your freezer. The beauty of these sweets treats is that you don’t need any fancy equipment – just what most home cooks already have in their kitchens.
INGREDIENTS
I remember the first time I made these healthy summer snacks – I was rushing and didn’t properly measure my ingredients. The yogurt mixture turned out too runny, and my bites lost their shape in the mold. Since then, I’ve learned to take my time with the prep work. Now I line up all my ingredients before starting, which makes the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8-10 fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Optional: crushed pistachios or freeze-dried strawberry powder for topping
PREPARATION
One thing I’ve discovered through trial and error – don’t skip the freezing step before dipping in chocolate. The first batch I ever made turned into a melted mess because I was impatient. Now I set a timer for that initial freeze, which gives the yogurt bites enough structure to handle the warm chocolate coating without losing their shape. If you enjoy easy slow cooker meals, you’ll love our crockpot lasagna soup for effortless comfort that’s just as simple to prepare.
- In a medium bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the mixture into a silicone mold, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Freeze for 1-2 hours or until completely solid.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each.
- Remove frozen yogurt bites from mold and dip each one in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and return to freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate shell.
- Sprinkle with toppings if desired before the chocolate fully hardens.

Storage and Serving Tips
These yogurt bites store beautifully in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. I like to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. When serving, let them sit at room temperature for just a minute – this softens the yogurt center slightly while keeping the chocolate shell crisp. They make excellent healthy toddler snacks that you can grab straight from the freezer.
Customization Ideas
The versatility of this recipe is what keeps me making it again and again. For easy low carb snacks, use sugar-free chocolate and swap the honey for your preferred low-carb sweetener. You can also experiment with different fruits – blueberries and raspberries work wonderfully. If you’re making these as fun easy recipes with kids, let them add sprinkles or colorful toppings to make it more engaging.
Why This Recipe Works
What makes these yogurt fruit dip-inspired bites so successful is the balance of textures and flavors. The tartness of the Greek yogurt complements the sweet strawberries, while the dark chocolate adds depth without being overly sweet. As healthy filling snacks, they provide sustained energy thanks to the protein in the yogurt and healthy fats from the chocolate. They’re one of those sweets desserts that feel indulgent but are actually quite nutritious. For those who enjoy bold flavors, I highly recommend trying our creamy Cajun chicken pasta for spicy saucy perfection as your next cooking adventure.

Absolutely! Use coconut yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips to create a vegan version. The preparation method remains exactly the same, and you’ll still get that delightful frozen treat experience.
