Greek Yogurt Ice Cream Bars Recipe

 Greek Yogurt Ice Cream Bars are the perfect blend of creamy indulgence and wholesome goodness. Unlike traditional ice cream bars loaded with heavy cream, these are made with protein-rich Greek yogurt, giving them a tangy, refreshing flavor and a lighter texture. They’re sweetened just enough to feel like a treat but still nourishing, making them a great dessert or snack option for both kids and adults. You can make them plain, swirl them with fruit, or dip them in chocolate for an extra decadent touch.

These bars are also incredibly versatile—you can customize them with granola, nuts, berries, or even a drizzle of honey. They’re freezer-friendly, meaning you can always have a healthier dessert ready to grab when cravings hit.

Cooking Time: 15 minutes (plus 4–6 hours freezing)

Serving: 8 bars

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess, but low-fat works too)

  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries, chopped)

  • 1/4 cup granola or crushed nuts (optional)

  • 6 oz dark or milk chocolate, melted (optional for dipping)

  • Popsicle sticks

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  2. Gently fold in berries and granola, keeping some aside for topping.

  3. Spoon the mixture into silicone popsicle molds or a parchment-lined loaf pan (you’ll cut into bars later).

  4. Insert popsicle sticks and sprinkle remaining berries or granola on top for texture.

  5. Freeze for 4–6 hours, or until fully set.

  6. For a chocolate coating, dip frozen bars into melted chocolate and return to the freezer for 10 minutes to harden.

  7. Serve straight from the freezer.

Tips

  • For a swirl effect, puree some of the berries and layer them into the yogurt mixture.

  • If you don’t have molds, use small paper cups and peel them away once frozen.

  • Dip only half the bar in chocolate for a lighter coating and a pretty two-tone look.

  • Add a spoonful of nut butter to the mix for richness and extra protein.

  • Keep them stored in a sealed freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 weeks.
