Yogurt and Chocolate Bites

Ingredients

• 500 g Dark chocolate (Choose your preferred chocolate; the author used extra-dark chocolate.)
• 225 g Plain natural yogurt (The author used unsweetened plain soy yogurt. Alternatively, fruit, banana, or vanilla yogurt can be used. If using Greek yogurt, use 250 g.)
• Unsweetened cocoa powder (As needed to coat both sides; this step is optional. Nutritional estimates are based on approximately 10 g.)
• Plastic wrap (For lining the baking pan.)

Steps

1. 1

   Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, using your preferred method and stirring until completely smooth.

2. 2

   Add the plain natural yogurt to the melted chocolate.

3. 3

   Mix the chocolate and yogurt thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.

4. 4

   Line a baking pan with plastic wrap.

5. 5

   Transfer the mixture to the lined pan and spread it evenly over the entire surface.

6. 6

   Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, until the dessert has firmed up.

7. 7

   After the chilling time, carefully remove the dessert from the pan.

8. 8

   Dust the dessert with unsweetened cocoa powder on both sides. This step is optional, but it helps prevent the bites from becoming sticky.

9. 9

   Cut the dessert into small pieces to make the yogurt and chocolate bites, then serve.

Notes

Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For a less sweet version, use unsweetened plain soy yogurt and extra-dark chocolate. Versions made with fruit, banana, or vanilla yogurt are also suitable.
