Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Toppings and Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Peanut Butter Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, ensuring the peanut butter is well incorporated.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil until smooth, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Combine and Layer: Pour half of the peanut butter yogurt mixture into a suitable container for freezing. Drizzle half of the melted dark chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter mixture and chocolate on top to create layers.
  4. Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and allow the mixture to freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
  5. Serve: Once frozen, scoop portions onto serving dishes. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for optimal creaminess and flavor.
  • Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor.
  • Maple syrup adds subtle sweetness; you can substitute with honey if desired.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use vegan chocolate chips.
  • Adjust the amount of flaky sea salt to taste for balance with sweet flavors.
  • Store leftover frozen peanut butter in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
