Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (optional, for garnish)

1/4 cup cocoa powder

Pinch of salt

Non-stick cooking spray (for the pan)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Start by lightly greasing a rectangular baking dish measuring approximately 9x5 inches with non-stick cooking spray. For an easier release of the frozen wedges, you can also line the dish with parchment paper.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), peppermint extract, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it achieves a smooth, homogeneous consistency.

      Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula, taking care not to overmix so they remain nicely distributed throughout the yogurt base.

        Pour and Spread: Transfer the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish, using your spatula to spread it out evenly. Make sure to smooth the surface as flat as possible to ensure even freezing.

          Optional Garnish: For an added festive touch, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the surface of the yogurt mixture, enhancing both the aesthetic and texture.

            Freeze: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, placing it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until it is completely set and quite firm to the touch.

              Cut into Wedges: Remove the dish from the freezer once frozen solid. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to slice. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the frozen yogurt into wedges or bars.

                Serve: Enjoy the wedges immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Delight in your homemade frozen yogurt chocolate mint wedges!
