It started on a golden summer afternoon, the kind where time slows down just enough to notice the little things—like Iris and Leo’s laughter echoing through the garden as they hunted for the ripest strawberries. Camille and I watched them with full hearts, knowing these are the memories that last.
Back in the kitchen, our hands were stained red from the harvest. Camille stirred the yogurt while Leo helped mash the berries with proud determination. Iris carefully spooned out bite-sized clusters, and together we dipped them in melted chocolate. The result? These strawberry yogurt bites—sweet, creamy, and perfectly refreshing.
They’ve since become a staple in our home—simple, nourishing, and a joy to make as a family. Every bite brings back the sun, the laughter, and the magic of that day. I’m so excited to share this recipe with you. It’s more than a snack—it’s a piece of our story.

Let’s Cook strawberry yogurt bites – Step by Step with Remi
Follow these easy steps to create your own batch of strawberry yogurt bites at home.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries with the greek yogurt to form a creamy, fruity yogurt mixture.
- Drop the yogurt mixture into small bites or clusters onto the lined baking sheet, making sure to space them out. This recipe should yield about 8, 2-inch size yogurt bites.
- Transfer the baking sheet with the yogurt bites on it to the freezer and freeze them until frozen solid – about 30 minutes.
- Once the yogurt bites are ready, place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl, and add the coconut oil, if using. Melt the chocolate chips by placing them into the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring them in between until fully melted. Let the melted chocolate sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and use a fork to dip each one completely into the melted chocolate then place each one back onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
- Let them sit for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and enjoy!
