Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, or peanuts)
- 150 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully mixed.
Step 3
Add the nuts to the yogurt mixture and stir until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Use a fork or slotted spoon to transfer the coated nuts onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out so they don't stick together. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the nuts freeze for 1 hour.
Step 5
After the yogurt-coated nuts have frozen, mix the powdered sugar and cornstarch in a separate bowl.
Step 6
Remove the nuts from the freezer and carefully dust them with the powdered sugar mixture, ensuring that each nut is lightly coated to prevent sticking. Shake off any excess powder.
Step 7
Return the nuts to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to fully set.
Step 8
Once the nuts are completely frozen and set, transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the freezer. Serve cold for the perfect crunch!
