Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Optional additions: chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios), coconut flakes, melted dark chocolate drizzle, cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste, bearing in mind the freezing process will slightly dull the sweetness.
- Line Your Tray: Line a baking sheet or shallow tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easier to break the bark once frozen.
- Spread the Yogurt: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined tray and spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness for uniform freezing and texture.
- Scatter the Berries and Seeds: Evenly distribute mixed berries over the yogurt, pressing them gently into the surface. Sprinkle chia seeds or optional nuts and toppings on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 4-5 hours or ideally overnight until the yogurt is fully frozen and firm.
- Break Into Pieces and Serve: Once solid, lift the bark off the parchment and break it into chunks using your hands or a knife. Serve immediately or store for later.
Notes
- Use thick Greek or strained yogurt to prevent icy texture and retain creaminess.
- If using fresh berries, pat them dry to avoid excess moisture diluting the yogurt.
- Spread yogurt evenly to ensure consistent freezing and easy breakability.
- Keep freezer at its coldest for firmer texture and less iciness.
- Store the bark in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn and odor absorption.
