Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy or crunchy)
- 3 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips (70% or higher, melted)
- 2 tablespoons Salted peanuts (chopped)
- 4 pieces Soft Medjool dates (pitted and diced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Fold in two tablespoons of peanut butter gently into the yogurt mixture to create a marbled effect. Reserve the remaining two tablespoons for drizzling.
Divide the yogurt mixture evenly into four serving bowls or glasses.
Top each serving with a drizzle of the melted dark chocolate and the reserved peanut butter. Use a spoon or toothpick to create swirls for a decorative look.
Scatter the chopped salted peanuts, diced Medjool dates, and an optional pinch of sea salt over each bowl for added crunch and sweetness.
Serve immediately as a chilled, creamy dessert. If prepping ahead, store in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
