Introducing Magic Shell Yogurt Bites: a delightful high-protein snack perfect for keeping in your fridge. These bites feature a crunchy chocolate shell filled with creamy pumpkin yogurt.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
- These bites are a fantastic high-protein snack option, ideal for keeping on hand in your fridge.
- Packed with Greek yogurt and pumpkin, they offer a tasty and nutritious treat.
- Greek yogurt is naturally rich in protein, while pumpkin provides a boost of Vitamin A.
- With a crunchy exterior and a smooth, creamy interior, these bites offer a satisfying texture contrast.
- They can be stored in the freezer as well, although I prefer the fridge for a creamier center.
Tips And Tricks:
- Ensure the yogurt bites are fully frozen before dipping them in the melted chocolate.
- Work in small batches when dipping to prevent the yogurt from melting too quickly.
- Make sure to completely coat the yogurt bites in chocolate to create the outer shell; otherwise, the yogurt may seep out once chilled.
