Easy Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
These peanut butter cups feature a smooth layer of Greek yogurt combined with creamy peanut butter, all encased in a chocolate shell. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and sets in the freezer, making it a quick and enjoyable dessert option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Mold the Cups: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner, spreading it to cover the base. Place the tin in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Stir until well blended.
- Assemble the Cups: Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Spoon the Greek yogurt mixture into each chocolate-lined cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Top with remaining melted chocolate, spreading it to cover the filling completely.
- Freeze: Return the muffin tin to the freezer and let the cups set for at least 1-2 hours until firm.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cups from the liners and enjoy your Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Cups straight from the freezer or fridge.
