Ingredients for Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites:

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup cookie dough, chopped into small pieces (use a no-egg, safe-to-eat cookie dough)

These simple ingredients combine to create a sweet, creamy, and perfectly textured dessert. Every bite offers the nostalgia of cookie dough with the refreshing twist of frozen yogurt, making it a treat that everyone, from kids to adults, will enjoy.

How to Prepare Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites

Making Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites is surprisingly simple, and the process is quick enough to fit into any busy schedule. The first step is to prepare the yogurt base, which will give your bites their creamy texture. Start by placing 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt into a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup to naturally sweeten the yogurt, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a warm, comforting flavor. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring the honey or syrup is evenly distributed. This step is crucial for creating a smooth, well-flavored base for your frozen treats.

Once your yogurt mixture is ready, gently fold in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. These add a satisfying crunch and classic chocolate flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy yogurt. Next, add 1/2 cup of chopped cookie dough pieces. Make sure the cookie dough is cut into small, bite-sized chunks so that each frozen bite contains a little bit of cookie dough in every spoonful. Folding in the chocolate chips and cookie dough gently prevents the yogurt from losing its smooth consistency while ensuring every bite has a balanced flavor.

After combining all ingredients, it’s time to portion the mixture. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking, then use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the sheet. Arrange them evenly, leaving space between each bite so they freeze individually and do not stick together. Once all portions are arranged, place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2–3 hours or until the bites are completely frozen.

These frozen yogurt bites are highly customizable. You can experiment with different flavors of yogurt, swap chocolate chips for peanut butter chips, or try adding crushed nuts or dried fruit to suit your taste. They are also quick and easy to prepare, making them perfect for last-minute desserts, snack boxes, or after-school treats.

Not only are these bites delicious, but they are also popular with many people. Kids love the small, manageable size, while adults appreciate the creamy texture combined with cookie dough chunks. Whether served at a party, shared with friends, or enjoyed as a solo snack, these frozen yogurt bites are a hit every time. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can enjoy a healthy, satisfying dessert that everyone will love.

FAQs about Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites
