Tips for Perfect Frozen Yogurt Bars

✅ For an even freeze, spread evenly – A smooth, uniform layer ensures even firmness.
✅ Use natural peanut butter – No added sugars or oils for the best flavor and consistency.
Storage Instructions
🧊 Refrigeration: These bars are best kept frozen. However, if stored in the fridge, they’ll be soft and creamy like a mousse bar.
❄️ Freezing: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can I make these bars vegan?
Yes! Just use dairy-free coconut yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
2. Why are my bars too hard?
If they freeze too solid, let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before eating for a softer texture.
3. Can I make this into a frozen yogurt bark instead?
Absolutely! Instead of a thick layer, spread the mixture thinner on a baking sheet and freeze. Once solid, break it into pieces like bark!
4. Can I use another nut butter?
Yes! Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter all work great.
5. How can I make this more like ice cream?
For a creamier, ice cream-like consistency, blend in half a frozen banana before freezing.
