These Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Balls are a fun, easy, and guilt-free treat that you can enjoy without compromising your Weight Watchers goals. Made with a few simple ingredients, these bite-sized ice cream balls are great for portion control and offer a creamy, indulgent flavor with just 2 points each.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt (or fat-free plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips (or sugar-free chocolate chips)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp sweetener of choice (such as Stevia, Monk Fruit, or a WW-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter (optional, for added richness)

Instructions:

  1. Mix the ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract, and almond butter (if using) until well combined.
  2. Form the balls: Add the mini chocolate chips to the yogurt mixture and stir gently to combine. Then, using a spoon or your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Freeze: Place the ice cream balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until they firm up.
  4. Serve: Once frozen, serve the ice cream balls immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
