Oh me oh my oh YUM.
That’s what I always say to myself when I take a bite of one of these delicious Nutella-swirled cappuccino cheesecake bars.
You read that right: Nutella. Plus cappuccino. Plus cheesecake. In bar form, with a chocolate cookie crust. Glory glory, hooray!, huzzah!, oh me oh my oh YUM.
Remember that one time I told you about a salted caramel peanut butter cream pie and Liberté’s new caramel-flavored yogurt? Welllll, now is the time when I tell you that they also are about to come out with a cappuccino-flavored yogurt, which only further reenforces my plans to camp outside the grocery store until both yogurts are in stock. WHO’S WITH ME? (For extra motivation, see above, Nutella-swirled cappuccino cheesecake bars.)

Liberté’s Méditerranée Cappuccino Yogurt may be the best yogurt I’ve ever tasted — truly. Well, besides the caramel-flavored yogurt, maybe. I’ll have to eat at least a dozen of each to decide for sure which is my favorite. And then I’ll have to eat no less than three slices of pie and three of these bars to decide which dessert is my favorite. It’s going to be TOUGH.

But more about that yogurt. It’s smooth and decadent and indulgent and made just with what’s necessary to create a delicious yogurt-y nirvana, like whole milk, cream, cane sugar, yogurt cultures and coffee extract. It tastes almost like a tangy latte that you can eat with a spoon. And combined with chocolate, hazelnut and cheesecake flavors, well, the end result is just about one of the best things to come out of my kitchen.
And it’s also best that you double the batch of these lest you want to run out of them in, like, a day (not that I have any firsthand experience with this. Ahem).

In conclusion: Dream a little dream of Nutella, cappuccino yogurt and cheesecake until later this summer when the yogurt arrives in stores. Seek out said yogurt and buy a million containers. Make these bars, and snack on the extra yogurt while doing so. Repeat.
Liberté Méditerranée Cappuccino Yogurt will be arriving in stores later summer. Here is a link to Liberté’s product locator to find a retailer near you: http://liberteusa.com/Product-Locator

Jess — So sorry you can’t find it! I’ve never made these bars without the cappuccino yogurt so I can’t say for sure what would make for a good substitute, but I do think your idea of mixing espresso into regular yogurt (not Greek, either plain or vanilla) could work. If it does, let me know! Good luck!
Hi! I’m absolutely LOVING this recipe, but the only problem is I can’t find cappuccino yoghurt ANYWHERE. I really want to make these because I love nutella, I love coffee and I love cheesecake. Its the PERFECT hybrid. what can I do to substitute the cappuccino yoghurt? Could I make a shot of espresso and mix it into greek yoghurt? (I’m slightly desperate here, because your photos and just the idea of them make me so excited, oops.)
Thank you in advance for any substitutes (:
What if i don’t have cappucino yoghurt? 🙁
Lauren — Hi there! Did you use the Liberte brand of yogurt? That should give it just the right amount of sweetness to the cheesecake filling. Otherwise, you could add a couple of tablespoons of sugar to the filling, if you’d like!
