Pro Tips Before You Start
Use silicone muffin liners – They make it easy to pop out each cup.
Don’t freeze too long – More than 2 hours may cause ice crystals to form.
Mix until smooth – Make sure yogurt and peanut butter are fully combined.
Try crunchy PB – For added texture if you like a little crunch.
Use chopped mini PB cups – They distribute better through the mix.
How to Make Peanut Butter Yogurt Cups
Step 1: Make the Base
In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
Step 2: Add Chocolate
Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate peanut butter cups until evenly distributed.
Step 3: Portion the Cups
Line a muffin tin with 12 silicone liners.
Spoon the yogurt mixture into each liner, filling them about ¾ full.
Step 4: Freeze or Chill
Place in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours, just until firm but not icy.
Or refrigerate instead if you prefer a creamy, spoonable texture.
Step 5: Serve or Store
Enjoy straight from the freezer as a frosty treat, or store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer depending on your preferred texture.
What to Serve It With
A hot cup of coffee – Perfect contrast to the cold creamy cup.

Variations / Substitutions

Freezer – Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temp 5 minutes before eating.
Fridge – Keep chilled for up to 5 days for a spoonable version.
Avoid long freezing – More than 2 hours uncovered may form ice crystals.
