For the Chocolate Coating:

• 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips or chunks
• 2 tbsp coconut oil

Optional Toppings:

Instructions

1. Make the Strawberry Base
Blend strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

2. Pour and Freeze
Pour the mixture into silicone ice cream bar molds. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

4. Dip the Bars
Remove frozen bars from the molds. Dip each one into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on a parchment-lined tray.

Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle with nuts, coconut, or freeze-dried strawberries.

6. Set and Serve
Return bars to the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up. Enjoy straight from the freezer!
