If you’re looking for a healthy ice cream alternative, these Greek yogurt and dark chocolate popsicles are just what you need.

They’re easy to prepare, naturally sweetened, and made with only a few wholesome ingredients.

Why Make Your Own Healthy Popsicles at Home?

Most commercial ice creams are loaded with added sugars, artificial flavors, and unhealthy fats. If you’ve ever felt guilty after eating store-bought ice cream, you’re not alone. Making your own popsicles at home is a simple way to control the ingredients and enjoy a refreshing, guilt-free treat.

These healthy popsicles are:

• Rich in protein thanks to Greek yogurt

• Naturally sweetened with xylitol (birch sugar)

• Free from refined sugar

• Super creamy and satisfying

 

If you make your ice cream at home, you control the ingredients.

 

Ingredients (for 2 popsicles):

• 125 g of plain Greek yogurt

• 1 tsp of birch sugar (xylitol) or sweetener of your choice

• 1 square (10 g) of 85% dark chocolate

• A splash of milk (any type)

How to Make Healthy Greek Yogurt Popsicles:

1. Melt the chocolate: Place the chocolate and a splash of milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts (10–15 seconds) until melted. Stir and let it cool slightly.

2. Sweeten the yogurt: Mix the Greek yogurt with the birch sugar until smooth and creamy.

3. Assemble the popsicles: Pour alternating layers of yogurt and melted chocolate into your popsicle molds. Lightly tap the molds to eliminate air bubbles.

4. Add the sticks: Insert a wooden stick into each mold. The yogurt’s texture will help keep it centered.

5. Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until fully frozen.

6. Unmold: To release the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull on the sticks.

Combine Greek yogurt with a sugar-free compote or fresh fruit, Irresistible!.
