What You’ll Need

For the Yogurt Filling

• 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (for creamier texture)
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
• 3-4 tbsp pure maple syrup (adjust to sweetness preference)

• ⅓ cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet or dark

How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to prepare your frozen treat.

Blend

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.

Pour

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.

Melt

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

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.

How to Store It

Fridge: Best for 1 week in an airtight container.
Freezer: Yes, they freeze well for up to 3 months.
Reheat: None needed; enjoy straight from the freezer.

Tips for Best Results

• Blend strawberries thoroughly to avoid chunks for a smooth texture.
