Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (I like plain, but vanilla works too)
- 1 tablespoon honey (for sweetness, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
- 1/4 cup granola (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- A few dark chocolate chips or nuts (optional)
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I find this makes it so much easier to remove the bark later.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
- Spread the yogurt mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, even layer.
- Sprinkle the mixed berries, granola, chia seeds, and any other toppings (like chocolate chips or nuts) evenly over the yogurt.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for about 3-4 hours or until the bark is completely frozen and firm.
- Once frozen, break the yogurt into pieces by gently lifting it off the parchment paper.
- Store the pieces in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
Servings and Timing
- Servings: This recipe makes about 6-8 servings, depending on how large I break the pieces.
- Total time: Prep time is about 10 minutes, and freezing time takes around 3-4 hours. It’s best to let the bark freeze overnight if I have the time.
Variations
- I can switch up the toppings based on what I have available. For example, I love adding sliced bananas, kiwi, or pomegranate seeds for a tropical twist.
- If I prefer a sweeter treat, I can drizzle some melted dark chocolate on top before freezing.
- For a crunchier version, I add almonds, walnuts, or even coconut flakes.
- To make it dairy-free, I can use coconut or almond yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
Storage/Reheating
- Frozen Yogurt Bark can be stored in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Since it’s frozen, there’s no need to reheat. I simply take a piece out of the freezer and enjoy it right away!
FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, I can use regular yogurt if I prefer. However, Greek yogurt will give the bark a thicker and creamier texture.
How can I make Frozen Yogurt Bark less sweet?
If I prefer less sweetness, I can reduce the amount of honey or use a sugar substitute. I can also add more fresh fruit for natural sweetness.
Can I add other toppings like nuts or seeds?
Absolutely! I can get creative with the toppings. Nuts, seeds, and even granola add a nice crunch and extra flavor to the bark.
Can I make Frozen Yogurt Bark ahead of time?
Yes! This treat is perfect for meal prep. I can make it in advance and store it in the freezer for up to two weeks.
How do I store leftover Frozen Yogurt Bark?
I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. The bark will stay fresh and firm, ready to be enjoyed whenever I want a sweet snack.
