Frozen Yogurt Berry Bark

Frozen yogurt bark is exactly what it sounds like; a thin sheet of sweetened yogurt spread onto parchment, topped with fruit and nuts, frozen until firm, then broken into irregular pieces. It takes about five minutes to assemble and three hours of patience while the freezer does the rest.

What makes it worth keeping in your summer rotation is the flexibility. The base is always the same, Greek yogurt, a touch of maple syrup, but everything on top is open to whatever fruit is in season, whatever nuts you have, whatever combination sounds good that day. The recipe below uses strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and pistachios, which is a good starting point. The Alternatives section has more ideas if you want to take it in a different direction.

A Few Tips for Getting it Right

Full-fat Greek yogurt is worth specifying here; lower-fat versions have more water content, which makes the bark icier and less creamy once frozen. The parchment paper isn’t optional: bark stuck to a bare baking sheet doesn’t release cleanly and breaks into uneven shards. Spread the yogurt no thicker than about ¼ inch; thicker bark takes longer to freeze and longer to eat before it starts melting, which is the one thing you need to stay ahead of. Once it comes out of the freezer, serve immediately and eat fast, this is a ten-minute window situation.

Please be aware that these pieces of bark melt very quickly, so as soon as you serve them, they need to be enjoyed.

Store remaining pieces in a sealed freezer bag. I prefer to wrap them in parchment paper first, so they don’t stick together in the freezer bag.

Alternatives and Substitutes

There are so many options that the list below is just a few.

• Use vanilla-flavored yogurt instead of plain yogurt or add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to plain yogurt for the same effect.
• You can use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit or even dried fruit.
• Other fruit choices could be: mango, kiwi, pineapple, banana
• Add any type of chopped nuts.
• Consider toppings like seeds, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, raisins or even granola.
• You could also use finely chopped Oreo cookies or Reese’s cups.
• Make the bark vegan by using dairy-free yogurt.
• You could also pick one fruit and mix that in the food processor with the yogurt, creating a very colorful bark. You’ll get a purple bark from blueberries, a pink one from strawberries.
• You could mix cocoa powder or peanut butter with the yogurt for a light or brown bark base

One Useful Tip

Since the bark has to freeze a minimum of 3 hours, it makes all the sense in the world to make it the night before and leave it in the freezer overnight?
