Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips or chunks

Optional Add-ins

  • ½ cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries)
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios)
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (for mint variation)
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (for swirled caramel variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Mixture: Whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This ensures the yogurt base is perfectly sweetened and flavorful.
  2. Add Chocolate: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture to provide delightful surprise bites in every bar.
  3. Portion and Freeze: Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a lined baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Insert popsicle sticks if using molds. Cover tightly and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
  4. Remove and Serve: Once frozen, carefully remove the bars from the molds or slice the frozen slab into bar shapes. Let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly if needed, then enjoy!

Notes

  • Chill Your Tools: Use cold utensils and molds to speed up freezing and improve texture.
  • Don’t Over-Sweeten: Frozen treats dull sweetness; balance without making it overly sugary.
  • Mix in Texture: Add nuts or seeds for a pleasant crunch in the creamy bars.
  • Use Quality Chocolate: Choose good-quality dark chocolate for enhanced flavor and health benefits.
  • Freeze Thoroughly: Allow enough time in freezer to avoid melting too quickly after serving.
