Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups dairy-free yogurt (coconut or almond-based)
- 1 cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup natural peanut butter
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips or chopped peanut butter chips (dairy-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Enhancing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Blend 1 cup almond flour, 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt until your mixture becomes a moist, crumbly texture. Press this firmly into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking dish, creating an even base layer. Chill in the freezer at 0°F for exactly 10 minutes.
- Whisk 2 cups dairy-free yogurt, ⅓ cup natural peanut butter, ¼ cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until your mixture reaches a completely smooth consistency. Gently incorporate ⅓ cup mini chocolate or peanut butter chips, folding them evenly throughout.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the chilled crust, using a spatula to spread it into a perfectly uniform layer. Return the pan to the freezer at 0°F for 2 hours until the filling becomes completely solid.
- Melt ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil at 50% power in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth and glossy. Drizzle this chocolate evenly across the frozen yogurt surface.
- Freeze the chocolate-topped bars at 0°F for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate shell hardens completely. Remove from the freezer and let rest at room temperature for 5-7 minutes before slicing with a knife warmed under hot water.
- Slice into 9-12 bars, ensuring each piece has a clean, sharp edge. Serve immediately and store any remaining bars in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- Freeze these bars on a flat surface in the freezer to ensure even setting and a smooth texture.
- For a lower-sugar version, swap regular chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips with a higher cocoa percentage.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper to make removing and cutting the bars super easy, with clean edges.
- When stirring the yogurt mixture, mix gently to keep the air incorporated, which helps create a lighter, creamier frozen texture.
