Tips to Make Your Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Yogurt Cups 

Choosing the Best Peanut Butter for the Filling

For a balanced flavour, start with smooth peanut butter that blends easily with vanilla Greek yogurt. You can also make peanut butter frozen yogurt bites using cashew butter for a slightly milder taste. Whether you prefer a classic peanut butter cup profile or want to experiment with other nut butters, make sure it’s unsweetened, so the chocolate layer can shine.

Melting and Layering the Chocolate Evenly

You can make this a great recipe with your choice of chocolate. Use dark chocolate for depth, milk chocolate for a sweeter touch, or white chocolate if you want to switch things up. To start, gently melt the chocolate or mini chocolate chips in short bursts, stirring often to prevent burning. Spoon a thin base layer into your moulds, add the yogurt and nut butter mixture, then finish with the remaining melted chocolate. Sprinkle sea salt on top for a balanced sweet-salty finish.

Freezing and Storing for the Best Texture

Once you add the chocolate topping, freeze the cups until fully set, about two hours. Store them in an airtight container to prevent frost. These peanut butter and chocolate snacks are best enjoyed straight from the freezer but can soften for a few minutes at room temperature for easier biting.

Ingredients

Directions

1Prepare the base: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and peanut butter until smooth and evenly combined. 2Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted. 3Add the chocolate layer: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner, tilting slightly so it coats the base evenly. 4Fill with the yogurt mixture: Divide the yogurt and peanut butter mixture evenly among the cups, smoothing the tops. 5Top with remaining melted chocolate: Spoon the rest of the melted chocolate over each cup, making sure the filling is covered. 6Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. 7Serve: Enjoy straight from the freezer for a firm texture, or let sit for a few minutes to soften slightly before eating.

Questions Related to the Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Yogurt

Can I Use a Different Nut or Seed Butter?

Yes! You can easily switch the peanut butter with alternatives like almond butter, sunflower butter, or even coconut oil for a slightly different texture and taste. These options will give the cups a unique twist while still blending smoothly with the Greek yogurt. If you want a bit of sweetness, try adding maple syrup or honey to your nut or seed butter mixture.

How Long Can I Store Frozen Yogurt Cups in the Freezer?

Once your cups are fully set, transfer them into a container and freeze for up to 3 weeks. You can remove the frozen cups from the tray and store them individually or as a batch. For easy portioning, you can also place the frozen cups in an ice cube tray and freeze for convenient single servings. Just make sure to keep them well-covered to prevent freezer burn.

Can I Make This Recipe with Another Yogurt Flavour?

Absolutely! While vanilla extract pairs wonderfully with the peanut butter, you can experiment with other flavours of Greek yogurt. A plain yogurt would work if you prefer a less sweet base, or you can try different flavours to complement the nut butter. This is a great way to make these peanut butter frozen cups your own!
