Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended for creaminess)
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (optional)
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir gently but thoroughly to evenly combine the sweetener and distribute the vanilla aroma throughout.
- Fold in Chocolate Pieces: Chop the dark chocolate into small chunks or chips and carefully fold them into the yogurt mixture, ensuring each bite contains delightful chocolate surprises without overwhelming the creamy texture.
- Add Optional Ingredients: If using fresh berries or nuts, sprinkle them in now and gently stir to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the mixture.
- Pour and Freeze: Pour the mixture into a lined loaf pan or silicone mold, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until fully set.
- Slice and Serve: Once frozen solid, remove the bars from the mold or pan and slice into your desired size. Serve immediately or store for later snacking.
Notes
- Use full-fat yogurt for creamier bars that freeze better and taste richer.
- Freeze thoroughly to ensure bars hold together when cut and served.
- Chop chocolate finely so pieces scatter evenly and are easy to bite into when frozen.
- Line your pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap to make lifting bars out easier.
- Adjust sweetness by experimenting with the amount or type of natural sweetener.
