Gather Your Ingredients

Vegan Pumpkin Yogurt Bites recipe

2 cups vegan Greek yogurt
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
⅓ to ½ cup maple syrup, depending on sweetness preference
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons peanut butter or 1 tablespoon coconut oil
granola or pepitas for sprinkling, optional

Instructions How to Make Frozen Pumpkin Chocolate Bites

Mix the base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
Shape your bites: You have a few options! Use a cookie scoop or spoon to dollop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Alternatively, pour the mixture into silicone molds or a lined loaf pan for easy slicing later.
Freeze: Pop your yogurt bites in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until firm. If you dolloped the mixture onto a tray, let it chill for 30 minutes first to avoid spreading.
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave or double boiler, melt the chocolate with the peanut butter or coconut oil until silky smooth.
Dip the bites: Take the frozen pumpkin bites from the freezer and dip them into the melted chocolate. Add granola, pepitas, or sea salt on top for a little extra flair if you like.
Freeze again: Place the dipped bites back in the freezer for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden.
Enjoy: When you’re ready to indulge, grab a bite straight from the freezer. If you prefer a creamier texture, let it sit out for a minute or two before taking a bite!

How to Store Your Vegan Frozen Pumpkin Bites

In the freezer: These healthy pumpkin yogurt treats can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months.
In the fridge: For a softer, custard-like texture, move a few bites to the fridge about an hour before eating.

These bites are perfect for warm fall days when you want something cool, or anytime you need a post-dinner treat without the extra sugar crash.

Variations to Try

Just a drizzle: If full-on chocolate dipping isn’t your thing, drizzle the chocolate over the tops instead.
Pumpkin Peppermint Bites: Swap out the pumpkin pie spice for a touch of peppermint extract, and use white chocolate for a winter-ready twist.
Nut butter swirl: Mix almond butter into the yogurt base for extra richness.
Granola-topped treats: Sprinkle granola or crushed cookies on top for a little crunch.
Plain and simple: Skip the chocolate for a lighter, no-fuss snack!

FAQs for Frozen Pumpkin Chocolate Bites

Can I Use Regular Vegan Yogurt Instead of Vegan Greek Yogurt?

Yes, but the texture will be softer. If you only have regular vegan yogurt, try straining it with a cheesecloth to make it thicker for better results.

Can I make these without added sweetener?

Yes! You can skip the maple syrup if you want a less sweet version. The natural sweetness of the pumpkin will still shine through.

Can I Use Other Vegan Chocolate Besides Dark Chocolate?

Absolutely! Vegan milk or white chocolate adds a fun twist and pairs surprisingly well with pumpkin spice flavors.

What’s the best way to serve these treats?

For a soft and creamy consistency, let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before eating. If you’re into a firmer, ice-cream-like bite, eat them straight from the freezer.
