Ingredients You’ll Need

The magic of Mint Chocolate Chip Greek Yoghurt Popsicles is in their simple but carefully chosen ingredients. Each one helps create that iconic color, creamy base, bright minty taste, and irresistible chocolate crunch.

Vanilla Greek Style Yoghurt: Gives these popsicles their ultra-creamy texture and a subtle vanilla backbone that balances the mint.
Milk: Thins the mixture just enough for the perfect pop, making each bite silky but not icy.
Mint Extract: Delivers that classic, cool minty flavor that’s bold and unmistakable—don’t skip or skimp!
Honey: Adds natural sweetness and helps meld all the flavors together beautifully.
Chocolate Chips: Lends generous bits of chocolate in every lick; mini chips work great for more even distribution.
Green Food Colouring: Optional, but it gives the popsicles that iconic color that just screams “mint chocolate chip.”
Milk Chocolate (chopped): Used for the dreamy chocolate topping that makes these pops next level.
Coconut Oil: Makes the chocolate melt smoothly and gives it a lovely sheen once it sets on the cold pops.
Vanilla Extract: Blends into the melted chocolate topping for rich aroma and depth.

How to Make Mint Chocolate Chip Greek Yoghurt Popsicles

Step 1: Mix the Minty Base

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla Greek style yoghurt, milk, mint extract, and honey. Make sure everything blends smoothly with no lumps; this will give you those gorgeous, creamy popsicles you’re after. Adjust the amount of mint extract to match how fresh and cool you want your pops to taste.

Step 2: Add Color and Chips

If you want that classic green hue, squeeze in a few drops of green food colouring and stir until you hit your ideal shade. Now, fold in the chocolate chips so you have irresistible bits of chocolate scattered throughout. The chips won’t sink if your mixture is thick enough, so don’t worry about stirring them in gently.

Step 3: Fill and Freeze the Popsicle Molds

Carefully pour the mint-chocolate yoghurt mixture evenly into six popsicle molds. If you want some extra flair, sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top before covering. Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for about two hours, just until they’re starting to get firm.

Step 4: Insert Sticks and Freeze Until Solid

Once your popsicles have spent a couple hours in the freezer, take them out and gently insert wooden sticks into the centers. Then freeze the popsicles for another four hours minimum—or, even better, overnight—so they’re completely solid and easy to unmold.

Step 5: Make and Cool the Chocolate Topping

When you’re nearly ready to serve, combine the chopped milk chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate melts completely and is silky smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of decadence, then set the chocolate aside to cool to room temperature. You want it runny but not hot—you don’t want to melt the pops!

Step 6: Unmold and Finish Your Popsicles

Run the popsicle molds briefly under warm water to loosen the popsicles. Gently remove each pop, then either dip it directly into the cooled chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over the top, as thick or as thin as you like. The chocolate will set almost immediately, creating a delightful shell around your minty creation. Serve and enjoy right away!

How to Serve Mint Chocolate Chip Greek Yoghurt Popsicles

Garnishes

These popsicles already have their own built-in pizzazz, but a few fresh mint leaves tucked onto the plate or a dusting of extra chocolate chips can really dress things up. For a party, try scattering edible flowers around for a pop of color that matches the freshness of the mint.

Side Dishes

Serve your Mint Chocolate Chip Greek Yoghurt Popsicles alongside a big bowl of fresh summer berries or a platter of crisp biscotti for a fun, Italian-inspired dessert spread. They also pair beautifully with iced coffee drinks or fruity lemonade, making them perfect for garden parties or casual family nights.

Creative Ways to Present

Try standing the popsicles upright in a vase filled with crushed ice for a whimsical centerpiece, or serve them nestled in colorful paper wrappers to keep little (or big) hands from getting sticky. For a more decadent touch, offer bowls of toasted coconut or crushed pistachios to roll the freshly-dipped chocolate pops in for extra flavor and crunch.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have extras (lucky you!), just keep the Mint Chocolate Chip Greek Yoghurt Popsicles in their molds or wrap each one individually in wax paper and store in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll stay fresh and delicious for up to two weeks, so you can sneak a treat any time.

Freezing

These popsicles love the freezer—just make sure they’re tightly sealed to avoid picking up any odd freezer odors. Store them towards the back of your freezer where the temperature is the most consistent.

Reheating

You won’t need to reheat these beauties, but if your pops are a bit too frosty right out of the freezer, let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly for the perfect creamy bite.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat or non-fat Greek yoghurt?

Absolutely! The texture may be a touch less creamy, but the pops will still be deliciously refreshing. Full-fat yoghurt does give the richest mouthfeel, though.

How do I keep the chocolate chips from sinking?

If your mixture is nice and thick (thanks to creamy Greek yoghurt), the chips should stay suspended. If they do sink a bit, just sprinkle a few extra on top before freezing for perfect chocolate distribution in every bite.

Can I skip the food coloring?

Of course. The popsicles will taste just as minty and yummy with their natural color. The green is just for a traditional ice cream shop look!

What’s the best way to unmold the popsicles without breaking them?

Run the mold under warm (not hot) water for 10–20 seconds and gently pull. They should slide out with no trouble. Patience is key for that perfect pop!

Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for the shell?

Definitely! Dark chocolate adds a grown-up twist and deeper cocoa notes to your Mint Chocolate Chip Greek Yoghurt Popsicles—choose what tastes best to you!

Final Thoughts

If you love a sweet, minty bite with a satisfying crunch, you simply have to try these Mint Chocolate Chip Greek Yoghurt Popsicles. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a tray of these emerald beauties come together in your own kitchen—so gather your ingredients, have some fun, and treat yourself (and your loved ones) to a homemade dessert that’s always worth celebrating!
