Indulge in a refreshing summer treat that combines creamy yogurt with fresh fruit and the satisfying crunch of mixed nuts. Our frozen yogurt bars are not only easy to prepare but are also packed with nutrients, making them a fantastic option for those seeking a nutritious dairy-free and gluten-free dessert. 
To start, choose your favorite yogurt – coconut, almond, or soy-based all make great dairy-free options —and mix it with a touch of maple syrup or honey for sweetness, along with vanilla extract for a hint of flavor. Fold in a medley of chopped fruits like berries, mango, or kiwi, along with a mix of almonds, walnuts, and pecans for added texture. You can even sprinkle in some shredded coconut for a more tropical flavour.
Once your mixture is ready, simply spread it in a parchment-lined baking dish and freeze until firm. Cut into bars or squares, and you have a refreshing, nutritious treat that’s perfect for any time of day. Keep reading for the full recipe!
Ingredients:
2 cups yogurt (coconut, almond, or soy yogurt work well for dairy-free options)
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mixed fresh or frozen fruit (berries, mango, kiwi, or any fruit you like), chopped into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans), chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix the dairy-free yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.
2. Gently fold in the chopped fruit and nuts. You can also add the shredded coconut if using.
3. Line a baking dish (8×8 inches works well) with parchment paper. Pour the yogurt mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
4. Place the baking dish in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours or until the yogurt mixture is fully frozen.
5. Once frozen, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the yogurt slab out of the dish. Cut into bars or squares with a sharp knife. Enjoy your frozen yogurt bars right away or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
