Frozen Yogurt Bark (Healthy Dessert)
A refreshing, healthy dessert featuring creamy yogurt, sweet berries, and granola. This guilt-free, no-bake snack is perfect for cooling down and satisfying cravings naturally!
Equipment
- Quarter-sized baking sheet (9 ½” x 13”)
- Parchment paper or wax paper
- Silicone spatula
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat vanilla Greek yogurt or use dairy-free yogurt or a high-protein option for a twist
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional, for added sweetness
- ¾ cup mixed fresh berries e.g., strawberries diced small, blueberries, raspberries
- ¼ cup granola look for one with minimal sugar or make it yourself!
Instructions
- Get Prepped: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Trust me, skipping this step is a one-way ticket to frustration when it’s time to slice your bark.
- Mix It Up: Stir your yogurt and honey (if using) in a bowl until smooth and well-blended. If you’re going dairy-free, use a creamy yogurt base like coconut or almond yogurt to keep things rich and delicious.
- Spread the Base: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer, about ¼-inch thick. You’re building the blank canvas for your healthy dessert, so take a moment to make it look good!
- Top It Off: Sprinkle on the mixed berries and granola, making sure every bite will have a good mix of toppings. Press them down lightly so they freeze securely into place—that’s a pro move right there.
- Freeze It Up: Place the tray in the freezer and step away for at least 3 hours. Go ahead, check something off your to-do list or finally listen to that playlist you’ve been meaning to cue up. Good things take time.
- Slice & Enjoy: Once the bark is frozen solid, remove it from the freezer. Use a sharp knife to cut it into 12 pieces—or just break it with your hands if that’s how you roll. Either way, get ready to enjoy a cooling, fruity treat that’s as good for you as it is delicious.
- Store Like a Pro: Any leftover pieces can be stored in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container for up to 3 months. Layer parchment between pieces to keep them from freezing together—it’s like meal prep for your sweet tooth!
Notes
- Customization Ideas: Swap the granola for nuts, seeds, or even unsweetened cereal to make it your own. Prefer tropical vibes? Use diced mango or pineapple instead of berries.
- Why Full-Fat Yogurt: It keeps the bark creamy and smooth. But if you’re dairy-free or aiming for extra protein, a coconut yogurt or high-protein alternative works beautifully too.
- Snack Tip: Serve straight from the freezer for maximum crunch and flavor, especially on those extra-hot days.
