Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla)

1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup granola (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberries: Begin by gently rinsing the fresh raspberries under cold running water. After rinsing, pat them dry with a paper towel. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the raspberries for garnishing later. Take the remaining raspberries and mash them in a bowl using a fork until they release their juices while still retaining some small chunks for a delightful texture.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), pure vanilla extract, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Use a whisk or spatula to stir the mixture thoroughly until it is smooth, creamy, and well combined.

      Layering: Spoon half of the yogurt mixture into a lined 8x8-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a base layer. Take the bowl with the mashed raspberries and gently fold them into the remaining yogurt mixture until fully blended. Once combined, carefully spread this raspberry yogurt mixture over the plain yogurt layer in the baking dish.

        Final Layering & Granola: For the last layer, drop spoonfuls of the remaining plain yogurt mixture over the raspberry layer. Use a skewer or a knife to gently swirl the two mixtures together, creating a beautiful marbled effect. If you wish to add granola for extra crunch, sprinkle it evenly over the top layer.

          Freezing: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn, and place it in the freezer for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until the bars are completely frozen solid.

            Serving: After the bars are thoroughly frozen, remove the baking dish from the freezer. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Lift the frozen bars out using the parchment paper overhang, then slice them into rectangular bars. Serve with the reserved fresh raspberries for an added burst of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: Indulge in these refreshing Raspberry & Cream Frozen Yogurt Bars, perfect for a hot day or as a delightful treat any time. Enjoy your homemade creation!
