Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets Low-calorie chocolate graham crackers
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt (vanilla-flavored, or sweeten it yourself)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or zero-calorie sweetener (optional, if yogurt is unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Mini chocolate chips (optional, for texture and flavor)
- 1 roll Plastic wrap or parchment paper
Instructions
1. Line a small baking tray or plate with plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. If the Greek yogurt is not sweetened, mix it in a small bowl with honey or zero-calorie sweetener, vanilla extract, and mini chocolate chips (if using). Stir until fully combined.
3. Break each chocolate graham cracker sheet in half to create two squares per sheet. You should have 16 squares total.
4. Lay 8 graham cracker squares out on the prepared tray or plate, flat side up.
5. Using a small spoon or spatula, evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of the Greek yogurt mixture onto each graham cracker square.
6. Place the remaining 8 graham cracker squares on top of the yogurt mixture, flat side down, to create sandwiches. Gently press to secure, but be careful not to squeeze out the filling.
7. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper for easy handling. Place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
8. Once frozen, serve immediately, or store the sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
