Chocolate Cherry Frozen Yogurt Bon Bons are a simple frozen treat with a creamy black cherry yogurt center and a rich cocoa shell. I like these for a lighter dessert, a quick sweet snack, or a make-ahead bite for warm days.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
¼ cup extra virgin coconut oil, measured solid then melted
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
20–30 liquid stevia drops
½ heaping cup black cherry yogurt
Directions
I mix the melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, and stevia drops in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth.
Then I fill each section of a small heart-shaped candy mold or rubber ice cube tray with 2 teaspoons of yogurt, filling each cavity a little over three-quarters full. I spread the yogurt evenly.
Next I carefully spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture over the yogurt, making sure it covers the yogurt completely.
I freeze the bon bons for 1 hour, or until set. I remove them from the mold and serve them immediately.

Variations
I sometimes use vanilla yogurt, strawberry yogurt, or raspberry yogurt instead of black cherry yogurt. I also like adding a tiny pinch of sea salt to the chocolate mixture for a deeper flavor. For a sweeter version, I use a few extra stevia drops.
Storage/Reheating
I store these bon bons in an airtight freezer-safe container. Also I like placing parchment paper between layers so they do not stick together.
I do not reheat them because they are meant to be eaten frozen. I let them sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes before serving if they are too firm.
FAQs
Can I use Greek yogurt?
Yes, I can use Greek yogurt. I like it because it makes the center thicker and creamier.
Can I use honey instead of stevia?
Yes, I can use honey, but it may slightly change the texture of the chocolate shell.
Do I need a heart-shaped mold?
No, I can use any small candy mold or a rubber ice cube tray.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, I like making them ahead and keeping them in the freezer until I need a quick dessert.
Why do they melt quickly?
They melt quickly because coconut oil softens at room temperature, so I serve them straight from the freezer.
Conclusion
Chocolate Cherry Frozen Yogurt Bon Bons are easy, chocolatey, fruity, and refreshing. I like keeping a batch in the freezer for a quick sweet treat that feels special without much effort.
