Ingredients

For the Yogurt Cups:

  • 1 cup coconut yogurt (or Greek yogurt if not dairy-free)
  • 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ cup cashew butter (or a different nut butter of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • ⅓ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons almond flour
  • Pinch of salt

For the Chocolate Ganache Coating:

  • 1 ½ cups dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespooons coconut oil

For Topping:

  • Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  • MAKE THE YOGURT CUPS: In a small mixing bowl, stir together the coconut yogurt, protein powder, cashew butter, vanilla, ⅓ cup of chocolate chips, almond flour, a pinch of salt, and maple syrup. Set aside.
  • MAKE THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE: Melt 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a small sauce pot over low heat, stirring often. Remove from the heat once the chocolate has fully melted.
  • ASSEMBLE: Take a muffin liner and layer it with a thin coating of melted chocolate. Tip the muffin liner and spread it out evenly. Repeat with all 6 muffin liners.
  • Freeze the muffin liners for about 30 seconds, just so the chocolate has a chance to set.
  • Coat each liner with another layer, then freeze for 1 minute.
  • Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide your cookie dough protein yogurt mixture between the 6 cups. Top each liner off with chocolate.
  • Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes. Drizzle with additional melted chocolate (optional) and flaky sea salt to finish.
  • To enjoy, remove the muffin liners and slice or bite into the cups.
  • ENJOY!

Notes

Make these yogurt cups for a healthy snack option for yourself, your husband (hi, Kyle!), or your kids. They keep in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, if you can get them to last that long!
