PRESENTATION

Greek yogurt popsicles sit in rare territory for a frozen treat: they hold up as a genuinely balanced snack. Nutritionist Laura Crugnola developed this recipe with presenter Bianca for their vodcast, making the case that a bar built from whole ingredients — thick Greek yogurt, honey, dark chocolate — belongs in an everyday diet as readily as it does at the beach.

The dark chocolate shell uses a higher cacao percentage and less sugar than most coatings, which means it sets properly crunchy rather than waxy. Strawberries and blueberries fold in freshness, color, and a real hit of antioxidants and vitamin C. Hazelnut crumble and desiccated coconut finish each bar with texture and a little richness — and the whole thing lands carbohydrates, protein, and fat in a single afternoon snack.

INGREDIENTS

For 12 popsicles (with molds with a capacity of 25 ml — about 0.85 fl oz): Greek yogurt 0.8 cup (200 g); Wildflower honey 1 ¼ tbsp (25 g); Blueberries 0.3 cup (50 g) - approx. 1/3 cup; Strawberries 0.3 cup (50 g) - Approximately 1/3 cup

For coating and decorating: Dark chocolate 70% 9 oz (250 g) - in chips; Shredded coconut 5 tbsp (25 g); Chopped hazelnuts 2 tbsp (15 g)

Preparation

How to prepare Greek yogurt popsicles

To prepare the Greek yogurt popsicles, first add the honey to the Greek yogurt 1 and mix well 2. Pour half of the mixture into 12 popsicle molds with a capacity of 25 ml (about 0.85 fl oz), filling them to the brim 3. Set aside.

Cut the strawberries into pieces 4 and halve the blueberries 5. Combine the berries with the remaining yogurt 6.

Stir to incorporate them evenly 7, then fill another 12 molds with the mixture obtained 8. Insert the wooden popsicle sticks 9.

Level the surface 10 and let set in the freezer for at least 6 hours. After this time, melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave and pour it into a tall, narrow glass. Dip one popsicle at a time into the melted chocolate 11 so it is completely coated 12, removing any excess.

Place the popsicles as you go on a tray lined with parchment paper 13, then decorate as desired with the chopped hazelnuts 14 and desiccated coconut 15. Put them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, after which your Greek yogurt popsicles are ready to enjoy!
