Let’s get you ready to make these at home for your next cool treat moment.
What You’ll Need:
To make your Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites, here’s a simple, reliable ingredient list that you probably have on hand already:
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat or low fat, depending on preference)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar is a nice natural swap)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (regular vanilla works great)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (you can substitute dark or dairy-free chips)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (you can swap for quick oats if that’s what you have)
- 1/4 cup almond flour (all-purpose flour works too, but almond flour adds a nice texture)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are nice)

I often keep brown sugar and vanilla in my pantry, which makes this Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites recipe super accessible. Rolled oats and almond flour add that comforting cookie dough bite feel without fuss. If you don’t have almond flour, no worries—I use all-purpose flour often when in a bind, and it still works well.
Shopping tip: You’ll find the yogurt and mini chocolate chips in the refrigerated section and baking aisle of your regular grocery store. This Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites recipe stays budget-friendly because most ingredients are pantry staples you likely already own.
For prep shortcuts, you can measure and mix your dry ingredients in advance and store them in an airtight container. Extra frozen Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites keep well in the freezer sealed in a container for about two weeks. Another tip—I like to add a little extra vanilla for a richer cookie dough flavor that our family loves.
Let’s Make It Together:
Making your Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites is straightforward and fun. Here’s how I guide folks step-by-step:
1. Mix the Yogurt Base
Start by stirring your plain Greek yogurt with brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. This mixture is the creamy base that makes your Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites so delicious. It should be smooth and slightly sweet. You’ll smell that lovely vanilla as it comes together.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk rolled oats, almond flour, and mini chocolate chips. If you want some crunch, toss in chopped nuts here too.
3. Bring It Together
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the yogurt mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly, so you have cookie dough bits evenly spread in every spoonful. Don’t rush this part; taking your time means every bite of Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites gets flavor evenly distributed.
4. Spoon Into Molds
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use silicone molds. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of your mixture onto the sheet or into molds. Press them slightly flat for even freezing.
5. Freeze
Pop your Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites into the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. They should firm up nicely but still be soft enough to enjoy right out of the freezer without waiting.
6. Serve or Store
Once frozen, transfer your Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites into an airtight container and store them in the freezer until you’re ready to enjoy.
From start to finish, this whole process takes about 10 minutes active prep plus freezing time. While these freeze, you can prep a quick side salad or tidy up the kitchen. The kitchen smells sweet with vanilla and chocolate hints, promising a tasty frozen dessert. If your Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites look softer than you expected when scooping, that’s normal—they firm up nicely in the freezer later.
How to Serve & Enjoy:
Serving Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites is as easy as tossing a few on a plate and enjoying—they’re perfect frozen yogurt snacks meant to be eaten straight from the freezer. They make such a nice light dessert after a meal or a sweet afternoon pick-me-up.

I often pair my Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites with fresh berries or sliced fruit for a refreshing boost and a little texture contrast. A drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon works great if you want to switch things up. These freeze perfectly, so they’re also a favorite for birthday parties or casual get-togethers when you want a no-fuss treat that everyone can grab and go.
If you want to get creative, try layering them with granola and fruit for a parfait twist that feels indulgent but still stays in the realm of healthy frozen desserts. Another longtime hit at my house is serving these bites alongside a warm cup of tea or cold lemonade, especially in the summer months.
For a little variety, I’ve also rolled them in crushed nuts or cocoa powder before freezing. It gives a nice finish and makes each Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites feel even a bit more special. Friends who have tried this love how these little fruit and yogurt treats bring a mix of familiar cookie dough flavor with a lighter twist that’s just right for any occasion.
Your Questions Answered:

Absolutely. In fact, making them a day or two ahead gives you flexibility. Since they freeze well, you can pop some in the freezer anytime and have ready-to-eat frozen yogurt snacks when the craving hits.

All-purpose flour is a simple swap that works well if you don’t have almond flour. I’ve also tried oat flour in my Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites, which gives a slightly different texture but still tasty results.

Plain Greek yogurt keeps the flavor balanced, but I’ve tried vanilla-flavored yogurt for my Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites and enjoyed it. Just reduce added sugars accordingly since flavored yogurts tend to be sweeter.

Store in an airtight container, and they keep well for around two weeks without losing flavor or texture. Beyond that, they’re still safe but might start to dry out.

Definitely. Try using a dairy-free yogurt alternative like coconut or almond milk yogurt. For a great vegan take, check out Cookie Dough Froyo Bites (Vegan) | Feasting on Fruit for inspiration.
