One of the best things about summer is the fresh fruits that are in season, like cherries, peaches, and most importantly, strawberries. Still, there's nothing better than a good old ice cream sandwich on a hot day, but what if you could combine the two for the ultimate summer snack? Well, thanks to a popular new TikTok recipe, now you can — sort of. Taking the Five Year Plan by storm, these chocolate-covered strawberry slices are sure to keep you cool and refreshing during any heat wave, and the best part is, they're easy to make.
This deliciously sweet snack has been trending on apps since late May, just in time for the warmer weather, and now that summer is officially here, it's the perfect time to try it for yourself. Strawberry Bites require just three simple ingredients—strawberries, yogurt, and melted chocolate—to create a frozen treat that rivals your favorite ice cream bars, and you don't even need Ninja Cream to make it. It's unclear who first introduced this recipe to FYP, but the dessert has clearly left its mark on #FoodTok and beyond, as the #strawberrybites hashtag has been viewed more than 71 million times as of June 28 .

How to make TikTok strawberry flavor
According to TikTok by @elysian.living, the first thing you need to do is cut the strawberries into small pieces (after washing them of course). Once done, add the fruit chunks to a bowl and add your favorite Greek yogurt on top. Then, mix the two ingredients together until the berries are completely covered with yogurt. You can also add a little honey if you want to sweeten it up.
Next, scoop a ladleful of the mixture from the bowl and place each portion on a tray or container. Store the batch in the refrigerator until frozen, and when they're ready to serve, you can melt some of the bars or use chocolate syrup to coat the bites. Place the freshly covered food back into the refrigerator and enjoy.
If you want your dessert to be extra crunchy, you can also add granola to the strawberry and yogurt mixture per @purely_elizabeth .
