Strawberry FroYo Bites
Cool, creamy, and bursting with summer flavor, these pretty bites are the ultimate warm-weather treat. They’re made with protein-rich Greek yogurt, but they taste just like strawberry ice cream—your kids will never know the difference! But the real magic? The rich chocolate almond base, made with cacao nibs and dates for the perfect amount of sweetness— it transforms them into indulgent mini ice cream pies. They’re totally kid-friendly but sophisticated enough for your next dinner party, too.

Strawberry FroYo Bites
Serves: 50
For the chocolate almond base:
1 ½ cups slivered almonds
¼ cup cacao nibs
7 pitted dates
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp kosher salt
For the strawberry yogurt filling:
1 ½ cups greek yogurt
½ cup mascarpone
1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled
3 Tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Line two 24-cup mini muffin pans with paper liners. In a food processor, combine the almonds, cacao nibs, dates, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse until finely ground and the mixture resembles coarse sand, about 1 minute.
- Place 1 ½ teaspoons of the chocolate almond base into each muffin cup and press to form an even layer.
- Wipe out the bowl of the food processor, then add the yogurt, mascarpone, strawberries, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Divide the strawberry yogurt filling between the mini muffin cups, filling each just below the top. Freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Transfer the frozen bites to a resealable bag and store in the freezer for up to one month. Let thaw slightly before enjoying.
