Directions to follow
- Line a quarter sheet pan (9×13") with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Spoon the Greek yogurt onto the parchment and spread it evenly to a thickness of about ¼ inch.
- Lightly press the mixed berries into the yogurt, making sure they’re settled in.
- Sprinkle the granola evenly over the yogurt and fruit mixture.
- Place the pan flat in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once frozen, carefully lift the parchment paper to remove the bark and cut it into bars or bite-sized pieces.
Best ways to enjoy it
This frozen yogurt bark is a fantastic standalone snack, but you can amp it up even further! Serve it with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of almond butter for added richness. Pair it with a refreshing smoothie or a glass of iced tea for a complete summer treat. You can also make mini bark pieces to serve at kids’ birthday parties or summer picnics.
Keeping leftovers fresh
To store any leftovers, place the bark pieces in an airtight container and keep them in the freezer. Ideally, they should be consumed within a month for the best taste and texture. If you notice any frost on the bark, it’s still safe to eat, but it’s best to enjoy them fresh for optimal flavor.
Pro chef tips
For the creamiest texture, allow the Greek yogurt to sit out for a few minutes before spreading it in the pan. This makes it easier to spread. Consider mixing in a spoonful of almond butter or the vanilla extract into the yogurt mixture for extra flavor.
Creative twists
Already hooked on the basic recipe? Try adding unexpected flavors! Swap the Greek yogurt for a coconut yogurt for a tropical twist. Experiment with different nuts or seeds over the top—pumpkin seeds or slivered almonds can offer a delightful crunch. If you’re feeling adventurous, drizzling some melted dark chocolate over the top before freezing can elevate it into a dazzling dessert.
