How to Make It
Creating these frozen yogurt bites is easy and quick. Follow these steps:
Combine ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond flour, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well blended.
Add chocolate chips
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Adjust consistency
If the mixture seems too thick, add the milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Prepare the molds
Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray, filling them about three-quarters full. This will allow room for expansion while freezing.
