I’ve seen variations of these frozen yogurt bites all over social media. But I haven’t seen a cookie dough version yet! And because cookie dough is like kinda my thing (see: gluten-free edible cookie dough, healthy cookie dough bark, no-bake cookie dough bars) I figured I’d take it upon myself to develop one.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites are a perfect combination of creamy, rich coconut yogurt and crunchy chocolate chips, all wrapped in a smooth chocolate coating. They’re incredibly easy to make, gluten-free, dairy-free, and can even be made vegan! The perfect bite-sized treat to enjoy any time of day, whether you’re craving a sweet snack or a healthy dessert alternative.

What You Need to Make These Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites

Coconut Yogurt: A dairy-free alternative that provides a creamy base for the frozen bites. Rich in probiotics and perfect for those looking for a non-dairy option. I use and love Cocojune plain unsweetened coconut yogurt!

Cashew Butter: Adds a subtle nutty flavor and a creamy, thick texture to the yogurt mixture. You can substitute it with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.

Maple Syrup: Naturally sweetens the yogurt mixture without refined sugar, keeping the recipe healthy and low-glycemic.

Mini Chocolate Chips: Provide the “cookie dough” flavor with their slight crunch and delicious chocolate flavor. I recommend Enjoy Life’s dairy-free mini chocolate chips in this recipe!

Chocolate Chips & Coconut Oil: The melted chocolate forms the crunchy outer shell, with coconut oil helping to make it silky and smooth for easy dipping.

Tips and Tricks For the Best Frozen Yogurt Bites

  • Make sure to freeze the yogurt bites completely before dipping them in the melted chocolate to prevent them from melting.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure evenly sized bites that are easy to dip and eat.
  • For a thicker chocolate coating, dip each bite twice, allowing the chocolate to harden between dips.

Switch Up The Flavors

  • Try adding a tablespoon of peanut butter to the yogurt mixture for a peanut butter cookie dough twist.
  • Substitute the mini chocolate chips for white chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a different texture and flavor.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the dipped bites to balance the sweetness with a salty kick!

Adjust This Recipe to Your Dietary Needs

  • Vegan Option: Ensure the yogurt and chocolate chips you use are dairy-free.
  • Nut-Free Option: Swap the cashew butter with sunflower seed butter or another nut-free alternative.
