Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the chocolate coating
  • 9 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips For a richer flavor, opt for dark chocolate chips.
  • ¼ cup coconut oil Adds gloss and richness; using butter is an alternative for a different taste.
For the yogurt filling
  • 1.5 cups 2% Greek yogurt Non-dairy options like almond yogurt can also work.
  • ½ cup all-natural (drippy) peanut butter Almond butter or sunflower butter is a great substitute.
  • ¼ cup honey Maple syrup or agave syrup can replace it.
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt Replace with a pinch of regular table salt if needed.
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder You can use any protein powder you prefer.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a muffin tin with liners and set aside.
  2. Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 20-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted.
  3. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each muffin liner. Tilt the muffin tin slightly to ensure the chocolate coats the sides well, going above halfway.
  4. Freeze the muffin tin for 2 minutes, then set aside any remaining chocolate.
  5. After 2 minutes, add ½ tablespoon of melted chocolate to each liner, repeating the tilting process. Freeze for another 5 minutes.
Making the Filling
  1. While the chocolate shell freezes, stir all the filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
  2. Once the chocolate shells are frozen, scoop 2 tablespoons of filling into each cup.
  3. Top each cup with 1 tablespoon of the remaining melted chocolate, adding more coconut oil if it’s not pourable. Shake the pan to fully cover the tops of the cups.
Freezing
  1. Freeze the cups for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Enjoy these delightful treats immediately or store in a freezer-safe bag for later enjoyment!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months without losing their freshness. These cups are perfect for freezing for easy access to healthy snacks anytime.
