Hannah Kling
These Creamy Greek Yogurt Truffles taste like a piece of cheesecake in bite size form. Made with simple ingredients, refined sugar free and the perfect treat to keep in your fridge or freezer.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 14 bites

Ingredients  

  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt (can sub vegan yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (can sub honey, agave, sugar, or omit.)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups protein (I used Ritual.)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • In a bowl, add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
  • Incorporate the protein powder and mix with a rubber spatula until you get a pliable dough. Please note, that not all protein powders are considered equal. Depending on the brand that you use, you may need a little more or a little less. Feel free to add or subtract based on the texture of the dough — it should be creamy and pliable.
  • Grab a 1 tbsp cookie scoop and create uniform-sized balls. Roll between the palm of your hands and place on a piece of parchment paper and flash freeze for 10 minutes.
  • While you wait, heat the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second bursts until melted.
  • Dip the frozen yogurt mini cheesecake bites into the melted chocolate to coat, then place back on the parchment paper. Freeze for 15 more minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure you use a protein powder you actually like! The flavor will come through in the final results. If you don’t like the taste of a particular powder, then you won’t like the taste of your finished treats.
  • To make these vegan, use non-dairy yogurt and plant-based protein.
  • Your dough should be pliable but not too sticky. If it comes out too dry, add a small amount of milk (like almond or oat) one teaspoon at a time. If it’s too wet, add more protein powder.
  • For the best texture, let your chocolate covered cheesecake bites freeze completely before digging in. They should be good to go after about 15 minutes, but if you have the patience, they’ll be even better if you wait even longer!
