2-Ingredient No-Sugar Chocolate Cream Bites
Description
These 2-Ingredient Chocolate Cream Bites are an incredibly easy no-bake dessert with a crisp chocolate coating and a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth center. They take about 5 minutes to prepare and require no oven. Using unsweetened dark chocolate and thick Greek yogurt keeps the recipe simple with no added sugar.
Ingredients — Only 2!
- 1 cup (170 g) unsweetened dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (225 g) thick plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
- Make the filling: Spoon small portions of Greek yogurt onto a parchment-lined plate or tray, making them roughly bite-sized.
- Freeze briefly: Freeze for about 5–10 minutes so the yogurt becomes firm enough to coat.
- Coat: Dip each yogurt portion into the melted chocolate, turning gently until completely covered.
- Set: Place the coated bites back on the parchment and refrigerate or freeze for several minutes until the chocolate shell is firm.
- Enjoy: Let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating for a softer, creamier center.

Benefits

Notes
- For the creamiest center, use thick, full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Unsweetened chocolate can be quite bitter. If you want sweetness while keeping the recipe to two ingredients, use a no-added-sugar chocolate sweetened with an appropriate sugar substitute.
- Keep the finished bites refrigerated because of the yogurt filling.
- The exact appearance will vary depending on the thickness of the chocolate coating.
Tips
- For a thicker shell: Dip the bites twice, chilling briefly between coats.
- For easier dipping: Freeze the yogurt portions until firm but not rock-hard.
- For a smoother coating: Add nothing to the chocolate—make sure it is completely melted and stir until glossy.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Q&A
Q: Is this really only 2 ingredients?
Yes. The basic recipe uses only Greek yogurt and chocolate.
Q: Does it contain sugar?
It contains no added sugar when made with unsweetened/no-added-sugar chocolate. Always check your chocolate’s nutrition label.
Q: Can I use regular yogurt?
Yes, but thick Greek yogurt works much better because it holds its shape.
Q: Can I freeze these?
Yes. Freeze them in an airtight container for up to about 1 month. Thaw for a few minutes before eating.

No! They’re completely no-bake.
Q: Why is my chocolate coating cracking?
The yogurt center may be too cold or the chocolate layer too thick. Let the bites sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
