Ingredients
  

2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjustable to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs (approximately 10-12 cookies, crushed)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional but recommended)

1/4 cup crushed Oreos for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt and heavy cream. Add the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Incorporate the Oreos: Gently fold in the Oreo cookie crumbs and the mini chocolate chips (if you're using them) into the yogurt mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout for a delightful surprise in every bite.

      Line the Pan: Take an 8x8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, allowing a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly spray the parchment paper with cooking spray; this will help in preventing the yogurt mixture from sticking.

        Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan, smoothing out the top to ensure a nice finish.

          Top with Crushed Oreos: Evenly sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the surface of the yogurt mixture. Press down gently on the crumbs with your fingertips to make sure they stick well to the base.

            Freeze: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is completely set and firm.

              Slice and Serve: Once fully frozen, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars directly out of the dish. Transfer them to a cutting board and slice them into squares or rectangles as desired. Serve immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
