Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars: A Creamy, Crunchy Treat for Hot Days
When the summer heat hits, there’s nothing quite as refreshing as a cool, creamy treat. These Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars are the perfect solution—combining the rich, tangy flavor of Greek yogurt with the nutty sweetness of SunButter and a crispy chocolate coating. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or looking for a quick dessert after dinner, these bars are sure to satisfy. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make, and with wholesome ingredients, they’re a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream bars.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt – plain 🥛
- ½ cup SunButter 🥜
- ⅓ cup almond milk 🥛
- ¼ cup maple syrup 🍁
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
- ½ teaspoon sea salt 🧂
- 1 cup dark chocolate 🍫
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil 🥥
- ¼ cup brown rice crisps 🌾
Instructions:
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, SunButter, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. The mixture should have a light tan color from the SunButter, indicating that it’s fully incorporated. 🥣
- Fill the Molds: Pour the yogurt mixture into popsicle molds, filling each one halfway. Place the lid on the mold and insert popsicle sticks into the center of each. Freeze the molds for at least 8 hours, or until the popsicles are fully set. ❄️
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Once the popsicles are frozen, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the brown rice crisps, ensuring they are evenly coated with chocolate. 🍫🥥
- Coat the Popsicles: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a wide glass container. One by one, dip the frozen yogurt bars into the chocolate, ensuring each bar is fully coated. Hold the popsicle upside down above the container to let any excess chocolate drip off. Place the coated bars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining popsicles. For an extra crunch, sprinkle a few more rice crisps on top before the chocolate sets. ❄️
- Final Freeze: Place the baking sheet with the chocolate-coated popsicles back into the freezer for another 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set. Once done, your Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars are ready to be enjoyed!
