Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base:

1 cup almond flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if preferred)

For the Frozen Yogurt Layer:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if preferred)

For Topping (optional):

Crushed almonds or walnuts

A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Brownie Base:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and cocoa powder, mixing well.

      - Add in the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well integrated.

        - Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

          - Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later. Pour the brownie batter into the dish and use your hands or a spatula to press it firmly into an even layer.

            - Place the baking dish in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes to allow the brownie base to firm up.

              Make the Frozen Yogurt Layer:

                - While the brownie base is setting, prepare the frozen yogurt layer. In another mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or agave syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spoon to mix until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

                  - Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly dispersed throughout the yogurt mixture for delightful bursts of chocolate.

                    Assemble the Squares:

                      - Once the brownie base has firmed up in the freezer, remove it and carefully spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the brownie layer with a spatula. Make sure to cover the brownie evenly for a smooth finish.

                        - If you like, sprinkle the crushed almonds or walnuts on top of the yogurt layer for extra texture and crunch.

                          Freeze and Cut:

                            - Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming and return it to the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.

                              - When ready, remove the baking dish from the freezer and lift out the set squares using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares or bars with a sharp knife.

                                Serve:

                                  - Before serving, you may wish to drizzle the squares with melted chocolate or caramel sauce for added richness and flavor enjoyment.
