Summer’s in full force and we’re totally here for it! The weather has been pretty warm and sunny lately so we’re cooling down with these super simple and delicious, Cookie Coated Mango Lassi Frozen Yogurt Bars. These bars are kind of like the classic Good Humor Bars, but SO much easier. There’s no need for an ice cream machine and although there are a few different steps to take for these guys, they’re really simple to make.
I love drinking a thick and creamy mango lassi and these bars are an even more fun version. The cookie and freeze-dried mango coating is everything here! I found the freeze-dried mangos at my local Trader Joe’s and I think they’re pretty easy to find, but if not you can also find them here! I bought the ice cream bar molds here and use them all the time! I love their “mini” size and how easy they are to unmold…no dipping in water to loosen them up needed at all! They’re also really great to use for frozen cheesecake bars, which we’ve definitely done a bunch of times!
Not only do I love these bars because they’re easy and delicious, but because they also make a bunch and hold up in the freezer really well! So you can just stick them in a resealable bag, once they’re fully frozen, and snack on one whenever you have a craving for something sweet. Enjoy! xx, Jenny

I can’t wait to make this for the 4th this week. Instead of bars, I’m pouring my mixture into a 8″ square pan and topping with the crumbs/mango mixture. I may do a smear of melted mango preserves on the plate.
