Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla for added flavor)

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup brewed strong coffee (cooled to room temperature)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey for a different sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, for added richness)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as almonds or hazelnuts) for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and sweetened condensed milk. Use a whisk or spatula to mix well until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Create the Mocha Swirl: In a separate bowl, whisk together the brewed coffee, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth. Taste the mixture, and if desired, adjust the sweetness by stirring in a bit more maple syrup.

      Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the coffee mixture into the yogurt mixture using a spatula, swirling it in gently to create a beautiful marbled effect without fully blending the two.

        Add Chocolate Chips: If you want an extra dimension of flavor and texture, fold in the chocolate chips carefully at this stage.

          Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave some extra paper hanging over the edges for easy removal later.

            Pour and Smooth: Pour the mocha yogurt mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly. For an added crunch, sprinkle the crushed nuts over the top.

              Freeze: Transfer the pan to the freezer and allow the bars to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are solidly set and firm.

                Cut and Serve: Once fully frozen, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Let the bars sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier cutting. Slice into squares or bars as preferred, and enjoy your homemade treats!

                  Store: Any leftover bars can be returned to the freezer. Wrap them securely in plastic wrap to maintain their freshness and prevent freezer burn.
