Prep Time: 15 minutes
Freeze Time: 2 hours
Yield: 8 bars
These creamy, airy chocolate bars have a soft whipped center and a smooth chocolate coating. They are easy to prepare and perfect for storing in the freezer for a quick dessert.
Ingredients
For the Filling
-
1 cup thick Greek yogurt
-
½ cup whipped topping, thawed
-
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
-
2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sweetener (such as monk fruit or stevia, adjust to taste)
-
Optional: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (for extra body and flavor)
-
Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Coating
-
½ cup chocolate chips
-
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling Base
In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract (if using).
Whisk well until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly combined.
2. Make the Mixture Light and Fluffy
Add the whipped topping to the bowl.
Using a spatula, gently fold it into the chocolate yogurt mixture.
If using protein powder, fold it in at this stage.
Mix slowly and gently to keep the mixture airy and light.
3. Shape and Freeze
Line a small rectangular dish or loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the sides for easy lifting.
Spread the mixture evenly into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Aim for about 1 inch thickness.
Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until fully firm.
4. Slice into Bars
Once solid, lift the frozen slab out using the parchment paper.
Place it on a cutting board and slice into 8 equal bars.
Return the bars to the freezer while you prepare the chocolate coating.
5. Melt the Chocolate Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round, until fully melted and smooth.
6. Coat the Bars
Working one at a time, dip each frozen bar into the melted chocolate using a fork.
Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the bar back onto parchment paper.
The chocolate will harden quickly because the bars are frozen.
7. Store
Once all bars are coated, place them in an airtight container and store in the freezer.
Helpful Tips
-
Flavor balance: If the filling tastes slightly tangy, vanilla extract helps round out the flavor.
-
Work fast: If the bars soften while dipping, return them to the freezer for 10 minutes before continuing.
-
Serving: Let each bar sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes before eating for the best whipped texture.
-
Optional texture boost: Add a tablespoon of powdered peanut butter or almond butter powder to the filling for a richer taste.
