WHAT IS FROZEN YOGURT BARK?

Frozen yogurt fruit barks are a tantalizing blend of yogurt, creativity, and frosty magic. As the name says, it’s a frozen dessert made by spreading yogurt on a sheet, then adding toppings like fruits, nuts, and chocolate before chilling them.

You know the first bite of something chilled that sends a shiver down your spine? That’s what frozen yogurt does. 

It’s summer’s sweet embrace that entices your cravings with refreshing goodness. Picture a canvas of luscious, creamy yogurt with a tapestry of colorful, juicy fruits and satisfyingly textured nuts.

ARE FROZEN YOGURT BARS HEALTHY?

Light, lovely, and so lush from fresh fruit, Greek yogurt bark are definitely a healthier alternative to sugary treats or ice cream. Although, there is a caveat: the ingredients and toppings you use should be low in sugar and wholesome.

The taste is divine, and the frozen yogurt bark recipe is simple. With just a handful of ingredients and a dash of creativity, humble yogurt transforms into edible art.

HOW TO MAKE YOGURT BARK?

Step 1: In a bowl, stir honey with plain Greek yogurt.

Step 2: Taste and adjust with more honey if you like frozen yogurt desserts to be sweeter.

Step 3: Line a freezer-friendly tray with parchment paper and then spread the mixture on it. Keep it even and about a quarter-inch thick.

Step 4: Scatter the chopped fruits (I chose cherries and blueberries ).

Step 5: Press down gently. Finish with almond flakes (they look pretty, and I love the crunch).

Step 6: Slide the tray into the freezer. Wait. Wait and wait some more. I like to freeze this overnight.

Step 7: Cut into pieces and enjoy!

QUICK NOTES ON FROZEN GREEK YOGURT BARK

Frozen yogurt bark recipes are ridiculously easy. There is nothing more to it than mixing, spreading, and freezing. But these few tips will help you along the way.

• When yogurt freezes, it will stick to the tray. Adding parchment paper makes sure you can remove the Greek yogurt bark with ease. Wax paper or foil works too.
• Be mindful when cutting your fruits. Bulky pieces are better for frozen yogurt bars. For bark, you need smaller ones, so it remains flat (or -ish).

HOW LONG TO FREEZE YOGURT BARK?

You really want to give this frozen yogurt snack a good 5 to 6 hours in the freezer. I left the bark overnight because the sun is at it again and having a laugh by roasting us.

My suggestion? Wait just long enough for the yogurt to firm up instead of remaining a sticky mess.

HOW TO STORE YOGURT BARK?

Always store yogurt bark in an airtight container in the freezer. It will stay well for a couple of weeks (that is, if, and it’s a big if, it lasts that long).

VARIATIONS OF MY YOGURT BARK

My frozen yogurt bark recipe features a 4th of July combination of ingredients, but you can switch it up based on what’s on hand. The recipe is very forgiving.

Yogurt: I prefer full-fat, plain Greek yogurt for the recipe. Why? Because it’s lusciously thick, which makes the frozen yogurt treat creamier.

• Substitute: homemade, hung yogurt. Give it plenty of time to drain, and I really mean plenty. You want it to be super thick, with all whey drained out.

Sweetener: Trust me, this recipe is very malleable, so let your taste be the guide on how sweet you want the frozen yogurt bark.

• Substitute: maple syrup, agave syrup, or even powdered sugar.

Fruits: Fresh blueberries are exorbitantly expensive in India. Thankfully, I got my hands on a nice bunch that was not wallet-draining, bank account-depleting extravaganzas.

Completing the dessert was the first batch of cherries this season. Absolutely juicy and sweet, these just had to go into the frozen bark.

• Substitutes: Go for any combination of fruits. Use succulent strawberries, bursting with natural sweetness, and mingle them with the vibrant tang of blueberries. Or bring the tropical allure of juicy mangoes. Or swap with your favorite fruit: peaches, raspberries, oranges, kiwis, apples, or grapes.

Nuts: You can leave out the almonds altogether. But if you itch for a little crunch, I recommend them.

• Substitutes: walnuts, pistachios, cashews, pecans, hazelnuts, or peanuts: go nuts with your choice.

More toppings: Seeds are another option for this frozen yogurt bark recipe. Sunflower, chia, or pumpkin—any will work. You can also play around with:

• A handful of chocolate chips
• A shower of shredded coconut
• A swirl of seed or nut butter like peanut
• A hint of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
• Some granola to make the yogurt bark heftier
• A sprinkle of lemon zest for the tang to counterbalance the sweetness
• A drizzle of rich, dark melted chocolate for that extra touch of decadence

Vegan frozen yogurt with berries: Use maple syrup and plant-based yogurt.
