Pumpkin Yogurt Bites with Chocolate Shell

Pumpkin Yogurt Bites with Chocolate Shell

Pumpkin season is in full swing — and we’re not ready to let it go just yet. The cozy flavors, the creamy texture, that earthy sweetness... there’s something about pumpkin that just feels like a warm hug (even when it’s freezing outside).

And if you’ve been missing something chocolatey to go with it — we’ve got your back. Meet your new favorite freezer snack: Pumpkin Yogurt Bites with a Dark Chocolate Shell by @dreamyvegan. High in protein, low in sugar, and bursting with real fall flavor, these bites are everything you love about dessert — minus the crash.

Made with Funky Fat Dark Chocolate, they’re powered by MCTs (C8 & C10) for sustained energy and focus. No added sugar, no fillers, no weird aftertaste. Just pure, clean ingredients that make you feel good — from the first bite to the last crumb.

Why Pumpkin + Chocolate = The Perfect Fall Match

There’s a reason why pumpkin spice season takes over every coffee shop and Instagram feed — pumpkin pairs beautifully with bold, rich flavors like dark chocolate. The earthy, subtly sweet notes of pumpkin balance out the deep intensity of cacao, creating that irresistible mix of cozy and indulgent.

But here’s what makes this combo even better: when you use no added sugar chocolate made with MCT oil, you’re not just satisfying your taste buds — you’re also giving your body clean fuel. Our Funky Fat Dark Chocolate contains real cacao mass, cocoa butter, chicory root fiber, erythritol, and MCT oil powder (C8 & C10).

That means no blood sugar spikes, no sugar hangover, and no cravings two hours later. Just steady energy, balanced hormones, and pure pleasure. It’s dessert with benefits — and we’re totally here for it.

The Recipe: Pumpkin Yogurt Bites with Chocolate Shell

These bites are ridiculously easy to make. No baking, no complicated steps — just a few wholesome ingredients and your freezer. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

  • 200 g plain vegan yogurt
  • 100 g pumpkin purée (unsweetened)
  • 70 g almond, peanut, or cashew butter
  • 25 g sugar-free syrup or maple-flavored fiber syrup
  • 140 g (about 3 bars) of Funky Fat Dark Chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Crushed nuts for topping (optional, but highly recommended!)

Method:

  1. Combine the vegan yogurt, pumpkin purée, nut butter, and syrup in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy — it should feel like pumpkin pie filling.
  2. Using a spoon, scoop six small balls (or discs) onto parchment paper.
  3. Place them in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  4. Once frozen, melt the Funky Fat Dark Chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
  5. Dip each frozen pumpkin ball into the chocolate to coat, then top with crushed nuts for extra crunch.
  6. Freeze again for 30–60 minutes until the chocolate shell hardens.
  7. When ready to eat, thaw for about 10 minutes. Then bite in and enjoy the magic.

The result? A creamy, pumpkin-spiced center wrapped in a crisp dark chocolate shell. Sweet, satisfying, and secretly good for you.

What Makes These Pumpkin Bites So Good for You?

Let’s be honest — most pumpkin-flavored treats on the market come loaded with sugar, preservatives, and “pumpkin spice flavoring” (aka artificial junk). But not these. We’re all about balance, and that means keeping the indulgence while ditching the nonsense.

Here’s why these bites stand out:

  • No added sugar: Sweetened naturally with erythritol and sugar-free syrup, they give you that dessert satisfaction without messing with your blood sugar.
  • MCT-powered: Thanks to our dark chocolate, you get clean, fast-burning energy that keeps you focused instead of foggy.
  • Plant-based & protein-rich: The yogurt and nut butter combo brings protein and creaminess, while staying totally vegan.
  • Hormone-friendly: Stable blood sugar = happier hormones. These bites help reduce cravings and keep mood swings in check.

Basically, they’re the kind of treat that hits the spot *and* supports your wellness goals. Who said healthy couldn’t be delicious?

How to Customize Your Bites

One of the best things about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can easily tweak it based on your taste or what you have in the kitchen:

  • Switch up the chocolate: Try our Hazelnut Chocolate for a nutty twist or Coconut Chocolate for a tropical vibe.
  • Add some spice: Mix in cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to enhance that pumpkin spice flavor.
  • Top it up: Sprinkle shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or crushed pumpkin seeds before freezing for texture and crunch.
  • Go mini or mega: Make bite-sized snacks or turn them into full dessert cups — you’re the boss here.

No matter how you customize them, one thing stays the same: that rich, smooth Funky Fat chocolate shell that makes each bite a moment of bliss.

When to Enjoy Your Pumpkin Bites

These aren’t just for dessert. Keep a batch in your freezer and enjoy them whenever you need a little pick-me-up:

  • ✨ As an afternoon snack (say goodbye to sugar cravings!)
  • 💪 Before or after workouts for a clean energy boost
  • 🍂 During cozy movie nights or cold weekends
  • ☕ With your morning coffee or matcha as a mini breakfast treat

They’re also great for sharing — or not sharing. (We don’t judge.) Make a double batch if you live with someone who “just wants to try one.” You’ve been warned.

Why Funky Fat Dark Chocolate?

Because not all chocolate is created equal. Mainstream “healthy” chocolates often sneak in added sugars, fillers, and low-quality fats. Funky Fat Foods takes a different approach: real cacao + real MCTs + zero added sugar.

Our Funky Fat Dark Chocolate is crafted with cacao mass, cocoa butter, MCT oil (C8 & C10), chicory root fiber, and erythritol. That’s it. Each ingredient has a purpose — to fuel your brain, stabilize your energy, and satisfy your sweet cravings without guilt or crashes.

So when you melt it into this recipe, you’re not just adding chocolate — you’re adding clean energy and functional nutrition. It’s dessert that does more.

Stay Cozy, Stay Funky

Fall might be chilly, but your treats don’t have to be boring. These Pumpkin Yogurt Bites bring warmth, flavor, and fun — with every crunchy, chocolatey bite reminding you that healthy eating can still be playful and delicious.

Keep them in your freezer all season, and every time that pumpkin craving hits, you’ll have something ready that’s as smart as it is satisfying.

No added sugar. No compromises. Just real chocolate, for real cravings.

Stay funky, stay fueled. 🍫🎃
