Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup

Instructions
 

Prepare the Coffee Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brewed coffee and cocoa powder. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved, creating a smooth blend. If the mixture is warm, allow it to cool at room temperature until it reaches a comfortable temperature for mixing.

    Make the Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the consistency is creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness with additional condensed milk if desired.

      Create the Mocha Swirl: Drizzle the cooled coffee mixture into the yogurt base in a swirling motion. Using a spoon or a spatula, gently fold the coffee into the yogurt. Be careful not to fully blend the two mixtures together; the goal is to achieve a stunning swirl effect.

        Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the yogurt-coffee mixture, ensuring they are spread evenly throughout the mixture for a delightful surprise in each bite.

          Transfer to Pan: Line an 8x8-inch (or 9x9-inch) baking dish with parchment paper, allowing for some overhang on the sides to facilitate easy removal later. Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared dish, then use a spatula to spread it into an even layer across the bottom.

            Freeze the Bars: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow the bars to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Slice and Serve: Once the bars have frozen completely, remove the dish from the freezer. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the frozen block out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into bars of your desired size.

                Add Toppings (Optional): For an added touch of indulgence, sprinkle the sliced bars with crushed nuts, chocolate shavings, or drizzle chocolate syrup over the top before serving.

                  Store Leftovers: Place any remaining bars in an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, allowing you to enjoy this delicious treat at your leisure.
