Ingredients That Make a Difference
This recipe uses simple, wholesome ingredients that come together for a rich yet guilt-free dessert:
- Nonfat Greek Yogurt – A creamy, protein-packed base that adds a slight tang, balancing out the sweetness.
- Light Whipped Topping – Keeps the filling light and fluffy while adding a hint of sweetness.
- Vanilla Nutrisystem Shake Mix – Adds extra protein and vanilla flavor.
- Graham Crackers – Provide the perfect crunchy contrast to the creamy filling.
- Dark Chocolate (90%) – A bold, rich topping that adds antioxidants and deep chocolate flavor.
How to Make Chocolate-Covered Greek Yogurt Ice Cream Sandwiches
This recipe is super simple to put together! First, line a pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove and slice the sandwiches later. Start by placing a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom of the pan.
Next, prepare the creamy filling by folding together Greek yogurt, whipped topping and vanilla shake mix until smooth. Spread the filling evenly over the graham crackers, then top with another layer of crackers to assemble the sandwiches.
Melt dark chocolate and drizzle or spread it over the top layer of crackers for a delicious topping. Freeze the sandwiches for two to three hours until firm, then slice them into individual portions. Wrap each sandwich individually and store them in the freezer for a convenient grab-and-go treat!
Customization Ideas: Make It Your Own
Want to switch things up? Try these fun variations:
- Use Different Yogurt Flavors – Swap vanilla Greek yogurt for chocolate, strawberry or even coconut for a different taste.
- Change Up the Crackers – Try cinnamon graham crackers for a spiced twist or chocolate graham crackers for extra indulgence.
- Add a Crunch – Stir in chopped nuts, granola or even mini chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture for added texture.
- Switch Up the Chocolate – Use white chocolate, milk chocolate or a mix of both for a different topping.
- Make It Dairy-Free – Swap in dairy-free yogurt, whipped topping and chocolate.
- Drizzle with Peanut Butter – Melt a little peanut butter or almond butter and drizzle it over the top for an extra indulgent twist.
- Holiday Twist: Add cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling for a festive, spiced version, or drizzle with white chocolate and crushed peppermint for a wintery treat.
- Fall Flavor: Mix in a little pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to the yogurt filling for a fall-inspired variation.
- Different Shake Mix: Swap the vanilla protein powder with Chocolate Nutrisystem Shake Mix.
- Fresh Berry Bliss: Add fresh berries like raspberries, blueberries or sliced strawberries to the yogurt filling for a burst of fruity flavor.
- Rolled Edges: Roll the sides in crushed nuts, toasted coconut flakes or sprinkles for a fun and decorative touch.
- Caramel Drizzle: Add a drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce on top for a sweet and gooey addition.
- Citrus Zest: Sprinkle some lemon or orange zest into the yogurt mixture for a refreshing, tangy twist.
Make-Ahead and Storage Tips
These sandwiches need at least two to three hours in the freezer to set, but overnight is best for a firmer texture. Store them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers, or wrap each one individually in plastic wrap for easy grab-and-go portions. They last up to one month in the freezer—if they don’t get eaten before then!
