Descriptions

Churro Yogurt Bites – A Creamy, Crunchy Delight!
These bite-sized wonders are made by freezing dollops of vanilla Greek yogurt, then coating them in a crisp cinnamon-sugar crust. The result? A churro-inspired frozen treat that’s light, satisfying, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re hosting a party or just need a midday pick-me-up, these little gems deliver the nostalgic warmth of churros with a modern, healthier twist.

Directions

Step 1

Prep the Yogurt Bites:
Line a tray with parchment paper. Spoon small mounds of thick Greek yogurt (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the tray.Place in the freezer for a minimum of 2 hours, or until completely firm.

Step 2

Make the Churro Coating:
In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon. In another bowl, melt 2 tbsp of coconut oil or butter.

Step 3

Serve or Freeze Again:
Serve immediately for a creamy center, or pop back in the freezer for 10 minutes for a firmer bite. Enjoy cold!

Step 4

Coat the Bites:
Once the yogurt bites are frozen, remove them from the freezer. Quickly dip each bite in melted coconut oil or butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Pro Tips for Perfect Churro Yogurt Bites

✔️ Use extra thick yogurt (like Greek or Skyr) for easy shaping.
✔️ Add a pinch of nutmeg to the coating for added warmth.
✔️ Work quickly when coating—yogurt melts fast!
✔️ Want extra crunch? Toss in crushed graham crackers to the coating.
