Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon instant coffee granules

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup almond butter

1/2 cup chopped almonds (plus extra for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.

    Add Almond Butter: Incorporate the almond butter into the yogurt mixture. Stir vigorously until no lumps of almond butter remain, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the other ingredients.

      Mix in Chopped Almonds: Gently fold in the chopped almonds, which will provide a satisfying crunch to your bars. Be careful not to over-mix; you want to maintain the texture!

        Prepare the Pan: Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Pour the yogurt mixture into the lined dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

          Freeze: Transfer the dish to the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is firm and completely set.

            Cut the Bars: Once fully frozen, carefully lift the yogurt slab out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into bars of your preferred size.

              Garnish (Optional): If you'd like to add an extra touch, melt the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle it over each bar for a beautiful finish. You can also sprinkle additional chopped almonds on top for added crunch and presentation.

                Serve: Enjoy your Frozen Yogurt Mocha Almond Bars immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer, where they will keep well for up to 2 weeks.
