Ingredients
  

Yogurt Base
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 3/4 cup raspberries
Chocolate Shell
  • 1 cup dark chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon shortening Can use up to 2 teaspoons if needed for consistency

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and raspberries. Stir until well mixed. Lightly mash the raspberries as you mix so they distribute evenly throughout the yogurt mixture.
  2. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the mixture into 6 even balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
  3. Transfer the tray to the freezer and freeze until the balls are very firm, about 2 to 3 hours.
  4. Once the yogurt balls are frozen, add the dark chocolate and shortening to a heat-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate mixture in the microwave in 15 to 20 second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and glossy.
  5. Let the melted chocolate cool for 1 to 2 minutes so it is not too hot.
  6. Remove the frozen yogurt balls from the freezer. Using a fork, spoon, or skewer, dip each ball quickly into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
  7. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined tray and return them to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is fully set. Serve frozen.

Notes

Raspberry FroYo Bites Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE EXPECTATION: These bites should be firm but yield easily when bitten, with a creamy interior and a sharp, snapping outer shell. They are not meant to be icy hard.
WHEY VS CASEIN: This recipe requires a protein blend. Using 100% whey will result in a rubbery texture that freezes poorly, whereas casein provides the creaminess necessary for a frozen treat.
THE MELLOWING EFFECT: These actually taste better after spending a full 24 hours in the freezer. The raspberry flavor permeates the yogurt base fully as it rests in the cold environment.
PROFESSIONAL FINISHING: Do not serve these completely rock solid. For the absolute best eating experience, let them sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before consuming. This allows the center to soften slightly while the chocolate shell remains perfectly crisp.
