What Are Ube Frozen Yogurt Peanut Bites?
Ube frozen yogurt peanut bites are small frozen dollops of Greek yogurt whipped with natural peanut butter and a touch of maple syrup, dipped in a glossy ube white chocolate shell and finished with crushed roasted peanuts. They eat like a purple peanut butter cup but pack real protein and no refined dye.
The purple shell is made with real Ube Nolia ube powder, which gives it its deep natural colour and its signature vanilla-hazelnut notes. Greek yogurt brings creaminess and protein, peanut butter brings good fats and satiety, and the freezer does most of the work.

Ingredients for Ube Frozen Yogurt Peanut Bites (12 Bites)
Ube Frozen Yogurt Peanut Bites – Makes 12 Bites
- • 200g Greek yogurt (or thick coconut/soy yogurt for vegan)
- • 60g natural peanut butter (just peanuts + salt)
- • 2 tbsp maple syrup (about 30 ml)
- • 150g white chocolate (or dairy-free white chocolate for vegan)
- • 8g Ube Nolia ube powder (about 1 heaped tbsp)
- • 30g roasted peanuts, crushed (for topping)
A 100g pouch of Ube Nolia ube powder makes roughly 12 batches of these bites – and 33 lattes on top.
Key Ingredient Notes: Yogurt, Peanut Butter, Ube & White Chocolate
- Greek yogurt: full-fat gives the creamiest frozen texture and the most protein. For vegan, use a thick unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt (Greek-style if possible).
- Peanut butter: natural (just peanuts + salt) is best – cleaner ingredients and less sugar. Stir well before measuring so the oil is fully incorporated.
- Ube powder: real Ube Nolia purple yam powder is what turns the white chocolate a natural, deep purple – no dye, no candy melts.
- White chocolate: use a real bar with cocoa butter. "White baking chips" made with palm oil taste waxy and won't set properly.
How to Make Ube Frozen Yogurt Peanut Bites: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Blend the Yogurt & Peanut Butter Filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter and maple syrup until completely smooth and glossy. The mixture should ribbon off the spoon.
Step 2: Dollop and Freeze on Parchment
Line a tray with parchment paper. Spoon 12 small dollops (about 1 heaped tablespoon each), spacing them well apart. Freeze at least 2 hours, until fully solid to the touch.
Pro Tip: freeze them fully rock-solid – if the yogurt is soft when you dip, the ube chocolate won't set cleanly around it.
Step 3: Dip Each Bite in the Ube White Chocolate
Melt the white chocolate gently – microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, or use a double boiler. Sift in the ube powder and whisk until you get a rich, even purple with no lumps. Working one at a time (keep the rest in the freezer), dip each frozen dollop into the ube chocolate using a fork and tap gently to remove excess.
Step 4: Top with Crushed Roasted Peanuts
Return each bite to the parchment and immediately sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts on top before the coating sets. Freeze 10 more minutes to firm up, then transfer to an airtight container.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Ube Frozen Yogurt Bites
- Freeze fully before dipping: if the yogurt is not rock-solid, the chocolate won't set cleanly around it.
- Work fast at the dipping stage: frozen yogurt melts quickly – keep bites in the freezer and pull them out a few at a time.
- Sift the ube powder into the melted chocolate to avoid lumps and get the smoothest purple coating.
- Use real white chocolate with cocoa butter; palm-oil chips taste waxy and set poorly.
- Let them sit 1-2 min at room temperature before eating – the yogurt centre softens into a creamy frozen texture, not rock-hard.
Storage & Make-Ahead Guide
- Freezer: keep in an airtight container with parchment between layers, up to 2 months.
- Before serving: let them sit 1-2 minutes at room temperature so the yogurt centre softens to a creamy frozen texture.
- Meal prep: perfect batch snack – make one tray on Sunday and grab 2-3 bites as a post-workout or afternoon snack all week.
- Ube white chocolate leftover: pour any extra coating onto parchment, top with peanuts and freeze for bonus purple chocolate shards.
Why Use Real Ube (Purple Yam) Powder in Your Bites
The natural purple colour and subtle vanilla-hazelnut flavour of these bites come entirely from the ube powder in the white chocolate coating. Many products on the market rely on colouring or extracts. Ube Nolia ube powder is 100% pure, single-origin ube from Dagupan and Urdaneta in the Philippines, with nothing added:
- Natural deep purple colour from anthocyanins, plant-based antioxidants
- Authentic flavour with natural vanilla and toasted hazelnut notes
- Clean label: no artificial dye, no flavouring, no added sugar
- Consistent colour and taste in every batch of coating, ideal for photo-perfect bites
