Strawberry Yogurt Bars
Cool off with these easy frozen strawberry yogurt bars – a refreshing, healthy treat made with fresh berries, creamy yogurt, and coated in a crunchy chocolate shell. They're perfect for summer snacking and a fun treat for kids and adults alike!
Servings: 6 bars
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt see notes for yogurt
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 3-4 tbsp pure maple syrup or more to taste
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the Greek yogurt, strawberries, and maple syrup to a high-powered blender and blend until completely smooth. You'll want to blend it well to ensure that all of the strawberries are fully broken down and smooth.
- Place ice cream molds on top of a baking tray for easy transferring and pour the strawberry yogurt filling evenly into ice cream molds. Place the molds in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the bars are completely frozen.
- Once you're ready to dip the bars, add the chocolate chips to a bowl or cup along with 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds and stir it. Microwave in 10-second increments, stirring in between each time until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. You'll want to make sure the chocolate is completely liquid and smooth, so add a little more coconut oil if needed.
- Dip each frozen bar into the melted chocolate and place the dipped bars onto a parchment paper-lined pan. You can dip the bars fully, halfway, or just drizzle a little chocolate on top of the bars. Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries if desired
Notes
- Make sure to use full-fat, whole milk Greek yogurt and not low-fat Greek yogurt so that the bars are creamy when frozen and not icy in texture. For a dairy-free alternative, use 1 can of full-fat coconut milk.
- Use a high-powered blender to make sure that the nuts are fully blended and smooth. I love using this nutribullet blender.
- Make sure that the bars are completely frozen in the ice cream molds before dipping them into the chocolate mixture. If the bars are melting, the chocolate will not stick properly to the bars, so keep them in the freezer right until you're ready to dip.
- If you prefer to use less chocolate, you can either dip the bars halfway or drizzle a little chocolate on top of the bars.
