Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 ice blocks
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey, stirring until smooth and well-blended.
- Gently fold in the Greek yogurt, mixing thoroughly to create a creamy, consistent texture. Ensure no streaks of yogurt remain.
- If using chopped nuts, carefully incorporate them into the mixture, distributing evenly throughout the base.
- Prepare an ice block mold by lightly greasing or lining with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Carefully spoon the peanut butter mixture into each ice block cavity, filling to approximately 1/4 inch from the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Insert ice block sticks or popsicle sticks into the center of each filled cavity.
- Place the filled mold into the freezer and allow to set completely, typically 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
- To remove, briefly run the mold under warm water to help release the ice blocks smoothly.
- Serve immediately or store wrapped individually in freezer-safe plastic wrap for up to one week.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and prevent yogurt from becoming lumpy.
- For extra richness, opt for full-fat Greek yogurt which provides a creamier texture.
- Experiment with different nut varieties like almonds, pecans, or walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
- If you want a lower-sugar version, substitute honey with a sugar-free sweetener or reduce the quantity.
- For a more indulgent treat, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the ice blocks before the final freeze.
- Ensure your freezer is set to the coldest setting for faster and more even freezing.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, small paper cups work just as well - simply cover with foil and insert sticks.
