These chocolate covered strawberry frozen yogurt bars are a protein-packed sweet treat. Made from a strawberry and Greek yogurt base and covered in a chocolate magic shell. Keep a batch in your freezer!
We can’t stop calling these copycat Dilly Bars! These chocolate covered strawberry frozen yogurt bars are filled with an ultra-creamy Greek yogurt with strawberries and covered in a layer of chocolate that hardens similarly to magic shell. You’ll absolutely love these.
What’s in Protein Frozen Yogurt Bars?
These protein frozen yogurt bars are comprised of two layers: a super creamy greek yogurt filling with sliced fresh strawberries, and then a coating of melted dark chocolate that hardens into a shell in the freezer.
We’re offering an option to add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the strawberry yogurt filling to amp up the protein even more 😀
Variations & Substitutions
Jazz up the toppings for these protein frozen yogurt bars by adding a sprinkle of coconut shreds, chopped nuts or good old fashioned rainbow sprinkles right after pouring the chocolate topping onto the bars.
Feel free to substitute the sliced strawberries 1:1 for any berry of your choice. Blueberries, raspberries or blackberries would be delicious!
Amp up the protein in these frozen yogurt bars even further by adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder in the strawberry filling.
Top Tips for Protein Frozen Yogurt Bars
- Use full fat greek yogurt: using full fat greek yogurt will ensure that your frozen yogurt bars are super creamy and not crystalized like some frozen yogurt bars can be.
- Don’t skimp on the freezing time: make sure the strawberry yogurt layer is fully frozen before adding the melted chocolate.
- Use parchment paper: parchment paper is your friend! It will ensure that you can easily remove your frozen yogurt bars without them breaking or sticking.

Storage + Freezer Instructions
After your chocolate strawberry frozen yogurt bars are fully frozen, feel free to enjoy immediately! To store for later, place in a freezer-safe bag and return to the freezer for up to 3 months.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bars
Ingredients
Yogurt Clusters
- 1.5 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 cup 5% plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey
- Optional: 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
Chocolate Magic Shell
- 6 oz. chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a baking pan with parchment. Be sure the pan will fit in the freezer. Set aside.
- Add all of the ingredients for the clusters into a large bowl and stir until well combined.
- Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to scoop the mixture onto a lined baking sheet. Space the scoops out so they are not touching.
- Gently spread each cluster out into a circle and place a popsicle stick into each cluster. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for at least 2 hours.
- With about 15 minutes of freezing time left, prepare the chocolate magic shell. Add the chocolate and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 20-second intervals until glossy and smooth. Stir between each interval.
- Remove the clusters from the freezer and quickly spoon the melted chocolate ontop of each cluster, completely covering both sides (like a Dilly Bar!) and place them back onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat until each cluster is covered.
- Return the baking sheet to the freezer for 15 minutes or until the chocolate is hardened.
- When the chocolate is frozen enjoy it immediately or store the clusters in freezer-safe bags.
Tips & Notes
- You can use any berry in place of the strawberries.
- Feel free to make the clusters smaller using a ¼ cup scoop.
- We found that the higher fat content of Greek yogurt is what prevents the bars from becoming icy. This is why we recommend 5% or full-fat!

We loooved this one!!! Like a valentine dessert
I didn’t have popsicle sticks but made them in a heart ice cube mold. They are a yummy great bite sized dessert when you are craving something sweet. Can’t wait to make them again for Valentine’s Day for my family. ❤️
Didn’t have popsicle sticks so I just made them into bites instead. I also used almond extract in the yogurt and it turned out really good
I used strawberries and blueberries and froze them in a silicone popsicle mold. Super easy and I like how adaptable the recipe is.

Similar to the other reviews, I didn’t have any Popsicle sticks. I used seran wrap inside of small jars to give the yogurt something to mold into with the hopes I could pull out the yogurt once frozen. It ended up being a pain to get them out, had to get my husband to unjar them lol. I realized after that I had silicone icecube trays, next time I make then, I’d try that as the mold. Or just buy popsicle sticks.
Will make these again in the summer with fresh strawberries and get some popsicle sticks. A little hard to eat as such big clusters without a stick and I used frozen strawberries instead of fresh. Loved the chocolate coating – very tasty!
So easy! Made with things I already had in my fridge, didn’t need to buy anything special!
The perfect protein packed, easy and tasty dessert! I didn’t have popsicle sticks so I made clusters. Because I love chocolate so much, I put a scant tablespoon of chocolate on the parchment paper before topping with the yogurt and strawberry mixture. Chocolate on the front AND back of these delicious treats! Great job with this recipe ladies – Definitely 5 ⭐️
Yum! Love the healthier magic shell – definitely making that again for ice cream!
Made these as the snow was falling out my window. These will be even tastier in a hot summer day! These are super customizable using any flavor yogurt you may like with fruit add-ins of your choice. Fun twist on a dilly! We also didn’t have popsicle sticks so just make clusters.
