The inspiration for these vegan Double Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Bites came from my Chocolate and Peanut Butter Swirl Dessert Dip.
I used the same ingredients here: unsweetened coconut milk yogurt, sweetener, and cacao powder. I loved it so much that I ate it by the spoonful for breakfast one day.
Except for the sweetener, this is a pretty healthy recipe. Of course, you could always use stevia or another sugar-free sweetener for the filling and use sugar-free chocolate chips for the coating.
Creamy chocolate frozen yogurt covered in a hard chocolate shell, that's my kind of dessert! They will satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping you cool on hot summer days.
What I really love about these frozen treats is that they are small bites. I'm not a big dessert person, but I do love a bite of chocolate here and there. Or a few bites here, a few bites there...

❤️ Why You'll Love Them
- They're sweet and rich. They have the perfect balance of flavors that the whole family will love.
- No special equipment is needed! You make these sweet treats in ice cube trays.
- They're crunchy on the outside with smooth creamy yogurt on the inside.
- They come in a small package, so you can have just a couple of bites.
🧾 Ingredients
Chocolate Filling
- Vegan yogurt: I used unsweetened coconut yogurt because I like to control the amount of sweetness. You could use vegan plain Greek yogurt, vegan vanilla yogurt, or your favorite yogurt.
- Cacao powder (or cocoa powder): Adds a chocolate flavor. You could make different flavors by using fresh fruit or freeze-dried fruit powder.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup or your favorite liquid sweetener.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
- Almond extract: Adds a fruity flavor. You could leave it out.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
Chocolate Coating
- Vegan chocolate chips: You could also use dark chocolate baking chunks.
- Coconut oil: Makes the chocolate smooth and silky. You don't have to use it.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Add the chocolate-filling ingredients to a food processor.
Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray. Freeze.
Step 4: Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan with a couple of inches of water.
You can also use a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave.
Step 5: Melt chocolate chips and the coconut oil on medium heat until smooth and creamy, stirring as it melts.
Step 6: Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in an airtight container in the freezer.
💭 Tips
- To make a creamier consistency for the chocolate filling, mix in a Nutribullet or food processor. Otherwise, you may have small chunks of cacao powder.
- No fancy equipment is needed (like silicone molds), instead, you can use an ice cube tray.
- When melting the chocolate with the double boiler method, watch over it. Do not let water touch it or heat it too long - both will cause it to seize up.
- The same goes for microwaving the chocolate. Heat the chocolate at 30-second intervals. If you heat it too long, it will seize up.
- Make sure the chocolate fillings are completely frozen before dipping them into melted chocolate.
- A fork works well to dip bites into chocolate because the excess chocolate drips off into the bowl.
- Let them sit out for a minute or two at room temperature for a better consistency than straight out of the freezer.

Hello. That looks appetizing. Even though it is an old recipe 😀 Anyway, I discovered it just now and would like to try. But have no access to coconut yogurt. Do you think other yogurt, like soy, could work in this recipe?
Willow Moon says
Yes, and yogurt should work!
