Ingredients:
- 1 cup of plain, vegan Greek-style yogurt, for a creamy, tangy base
- 1/4 cup of cashew butter, for smoothness and a subtle nutty flavor
- 1 scoop of vegan protein powder, for a protein-rich treat
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, for natural sweetness
- A handful of mini chocolate chips, for that cookie dough feel
- Chocolate for melting, to encase each pop in a decadent shell
Directions:
- In a bowl, thoroughly combine the Greek-style yogurt, cashew butter, vegan protein powder, maple syrup, and mini chocolate chips. Stir until you achieve a smooth, consistent mixture reminiscent of cookie dough.
- Carefully spoon the mixture into popsicle molds, tapping the molds on the counter to remove any air bubbles and ensure an even fill.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze the molds until the mixture is firm, typically a few hours or overnight.
- Once firm, gently remove the froyo pops from the molds. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each froyo pop into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place the chocolate-coated pops back in the freezer on a parchment-lined tray to set the chocolate shell.
- Before serving, let the froyo pops sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to slightly soften, making them easier to enjoy.
