These Healthy Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Cups are a tasty treat! Made with creamy Greek yogurt and peanut butter, they get an irresistible chocolate topping. Yum!
They’re super easy to make, and perfect for a rewarding snack. I love popping them out of the freezer and enjoying the rich flavors. Trust me, you’ll want to make a lot of these! 🥜🍫
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Non-Fat Greek Yogurt: This yogurt adds creaminess and protein. If you prefer dairy-free, try using almond or coconut yogurt. Just check the consistency as some can be thinner.
Natural Peanut Butter: I love the rich flavor of natural peanut butter, but you can use almond butter or any nut butter you like. Just make sure it’s creamy for easy mixing!
Honey or Maple Syrup: You can adjust the sweetness to your taste. If you’re looking for a sugar-free option, try using stevia or erythritol instead.
Dark Chocolate Chips: I recommend using a good quality dark chocolate for the topping. If you need a dairy-free option, choose dairy-free chocolate chips or dark chocolate with high cocoa content.
How Do I Get Smooth Layers in My Frozen Cups?
Getting those beautiful, smooth layers is all about careful measuring and spreading! Be gentle when adding the layers, as you want to avoid mixing them together.
- Start by spooning the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each cup. Press down slightly for a flat base.
- Then layer the peanut butter mixture with a spoon or spatula—try to smooth it out evenly!
- Finally, pour melted chocolate on top and let it flow to the edges.
Let your creativity shine in the garnishing step by adding those tasty toppings!

This delightful recipe will take about 15 minutes to prepare, plus at least 3-4 hours in the freezer. Once you have everything mixed and layered, just let it freeze, and you’ll have a delicious snack waiting for you!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Yogurt Layer:
In a medium bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and half of the vanilla extract. Stir until it’s smooth and well combined.
2. Make the Peanut Butter Layer:
In another bowl, combine the peanut butter with the remaining honey or syrup, the rest of the vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if desired. Mix until smooth and silky.
3. Get Your Molds Ready:
Prepare a muffin tin or silicone molds by lightly greasing them or lining with paper liners. This will help with easy removal later!
4. Layer the Yogurt:
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each cup. Spread it evenly to create a nice base.
5. Add the Peanut Butter Layer:
Now, take about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture and carefully add it on top of the yogurt layer. Spread it evenly over the yogurt.
6. Melt the Chocolate:
In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each session until it’s completely melted and smooth.
7. Top with Chocolate:
Pour or spoon the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, making sure to cover each cup evenly. This is where the magic happens!
8. Garnish (optional):
If you’d like, add small dollops of peanut butter on top and sprinkle with crushed dark chocolate or chopped peanuts for a extra crunch and flavor.
9. Freeze:
Carefully place the cups in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until they are super firm.
10. Enjoy Your Treat:
When you’re ready to enjoy, remove the cups from the molds or liners. If they seem hard to pull out, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier eating.
Now, dive into your delicious, protein-packed frozen yogurt cups with peanut butter and luscious chocolate topping! Enjoy!
Can I Use Greek Yogurt Alternative?
Absolutely! If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute non-fat Greek yogurt with almond or coconut yogurt. Just ensure it has a thick consistency for the best results.
How Can I Sweeten These Cups Without Sugar?
If you’re looking to reduce sugar intake, consider using stevia or monk fruit sweetener as substitutes for honey or maple syrup. Adjust the amount according to the sweetness level you enjoy!
How Long Do These Yummy Treats Last in the Freezer?
These frozen yogurt cups can last in the freezer for up to 2 months if stored in an airtight container. Just remember to wrap them well to prevent freezer burn!
