How to make Yogurt Bark
Yogurt Bark with Berries
- Line the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the yogurt, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla and protein powder. Mix well until smooth and combined.
- Spread onto the Baking Sheet: Spread the coconut yogurt bark mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread evenly into ¼-inch thick rectangle shape.
- Add Toppings: Top with mixed berries and top with the granola or mixed nuts / seeds / coconut flakes.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 3 hours or until the yogurt is firm. Remove the pan from the freezer. Cut or break apart the yogurt bark into pieces and serve. If the bark is too hard, let it sit out for a few minutes before cutting / breaking.
Banana Yogurt Bark
- Line the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the yogurt, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla and protein powder. Mix well until smooth and combined.
- Spread onto the Baking Sheet: Spread the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread evenly into ¼-inch thick rectangle shape.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips (with ½ teaspoon coconut oil) in a heat-safe bowl in a double-boiler or microwave in 20-30 second increments until melted and smooth. Use a spoon to add dollops of the melted chocolate evenly spread out on the yogurt mixture. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the chocolate into the yogurt mixture.
- Add Toppings: Top the yoghurt bark with banana slices and sprinkle with the granola or mixed nuts / seeds / coconut flakes.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 3 hours or until firm. Remove the pan from the freezer. Cut or break apart the frozen yoghurt bark into pieces and serve. If the bark is too hard, let it sit out for a few minutes before cutting / breaking.
- Store: Store in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Tips for Success
- Use a thick Greek-style yogurt: Be sure to use yogurt that is thick such as a coconut based or cashew based. We like Forager or Culina. If you’re not dairy-free, make this frozen greek yogurt bark using full-fat Greek Yogurt or Skyr. Using full-fat Greek yogurt ensures that your greek yogurt bark is nice and creamy once it’s frozen.
- Line the baking sheet: You’ll want to line your baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper ahead of time. This helps to ensure that the yogurt doesn’t stick and makes clean-up much easier.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours: Be sure to allow time for your bark to set up. This will take around 2-3 hours.
- Place at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving: If your bark is too hard, take it out of the freezer and let it sit for at least 2-3 minutes before enjoying to soften it up.
Variations
Other yogurt bark toppings that would be delicious:
- Chopped kiwi
- Mango
- Blackberries
- Almond Butter
- Peanut Butter
- Sliced Almonds
- Toasted pecans
- Cranberries
- Pistachios
- White Chocolate
Storage
Once your frozen yogurt bark is set, you can store it in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag in the freeze for up to 3 months.
