Ingredients

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your preference)

2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional, for topping)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios, for topping)

Instructions

Prep the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk to mix everything thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well integrated, ensuring there are no lumps of matcha.

Taste & Adjust: Before moving on to the next step, taste your mixture. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add more honey or syrup. Additionally, you can adjust the amount of matcha according to your taste preferences.

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Make sure to leave an overhang on the sides for easy removal after freezing. This will make cutting the squares much simpler and prevent them from sticking.

Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour your matcha yogurt mixture into the lined baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface, ensuring a smooth and uniform layer.

Add Toppings: If you opted for the coconut flakes and chopped nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture. This will add a delightful texture and enhance the overall flavor of the squares.

Freeze: Place the baking pan in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid and firm.

Cut into Squares: After the squares have frozen solid, remove the pan from the freezer. Carefully lift the yogurt block out by pulling on the parchment paper. Transfer it onto a cutting board and slice it into squares or bars of your desired size.

Serve: The squares can be enjoyed immediately, or you can return them to the freezer for later. They can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy! When you’re ready to indulge, take them out of the freezer a few minutes beforehand to allow them to soften slightly for easier consumption. Delight in this refreshing and nutritious treat!
