Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk vanilla yogurt
• ½ cup diced strawberries
• ¼ cup blueberries
• ¼ cup granola

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet

1. Line a rimmed baking quarter sheet (or any small baking tray) with wax or parchment paper. This will prevent the yogurt from sticking and make it easier to remove the bark after freezing.

Step 2: Spread the Yogurt

1. Pour the vanilla yogurt onto the prepared baking sheet.
2. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the yogurt into an even layer, approximately ½ inch thick.

Step 3: Add Toppings

1. Evenly sprinkle the diced strawberries, blueberries, and granola over the yogurt.
2. Gently press the toppings into the yogurt to ensure they adhere as it freezes.

Step 4: Freeze the Bark

1. Place the baking sheet in the freezer on a flat surface.
2. Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the yogurt is completely firm.

Step 5: Cut and Serve

1. Once frozen, remove the yogurt bark from the freezer.
2. Lift the bark out of the tray using the edges of the parchment paper.
3. Use a sharp knife to cut the bark into 12-15 pieces.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy cold!

Tips & Tricks

• Use Full-Fat Yogurt: Whole milk yogurt creates a creamier texture, but you can use low-fat or plant-based yogurt if preferred.
• Customize the Toppings: Swap out the berries for raspberries, blackberries, or chopped mango. Add nuts, seeds, or even mini chocolate chips for extra crunch.
• Sweeten if Needed: If your yogurt isn’t sweetened, stir in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup before spreading it on the tray.
• Even Thickness: Ensure the yogurt is spread evenly to ensure consistent freezing and easy cutting.

FAQs

1. Can I use Greek yogurt?
Yes! Greek yogurt works perfectly for this recipe and adds a thicker, creamier texture. Just keep in mind it may freeze slightly harder.

2. How do I store frozen yogurt bark?
Place the pieces in an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

3. My bark is too hard to bite. What can I do?
Let the bark sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before eating. This softens it slightly without melting.

4. Can I make a larger batch?
Absolutely! Double or triple the recipe and use a larger baking tray. Just ensure the yogurt layer is still about ½ inch thick.

5. Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes! Use a plant-based yogurt like almond, coconut, or oat milk yogurt. Just make sure to choose one with a creamy consistency.

Storage

• Freezer: Store leftover pieces in a single layer in an airtight container or separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• Shelf Life: Best enjoyed within 2 weeks for optimal texture and flavor.
