These decadent vegan Double Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Bites are a chocolate lover's dream. They are really addictive!
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 crunchy chocolate, that's my kind of dessert!
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...

🧾 Ingredients
Chocolate Filling
- Vegan yogurt: I used unsweetened coconut yogurt because I like to control the amount of sweetness. You could use your favorite yogurt.
- Cacao powder (or cocoa powder): Adds a chocolate flavor.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup or your favorite 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
- 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: Mix the filling ingredients in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray. Freeze.
Step 3: Melt chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan with a couple of inches of water.
Step 4: Add coconut oil. Stir to combine.
Step 5: Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer to freeze.
💭 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, 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. 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 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!
