Ingredients
Scale
Greek Yogurt Base
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 2% or higher
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Strawberry Topping
- 1 cup strawberries, diced, divided
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare Greek Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly mixed.
- Spread Yogurt: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the yogurt mixture into a single, even layer using a spatula. Set aside.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each until fully melted and smooth.
- Add Strawberries to Chocolate: Quickly fold 3/4 of the diced strawberries into the melted chocolate to coat them before the chocolate hardens.
- Assemble Bark: Spread the chocolate-strawberry mixture evenly over the layer of Greek yogurt on the baking sheet. sprinkle the remaining diced strawberries on top, and optionally add a few pinches of flaky sea salt for enhanced flavor.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely hardened.
- Serve and Store: Once frozen, cut the bark into pieces with a knife or break apart with your hands. Store the bark pieces in a freezer-safe container or bag for easy access.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt with at least 2% fat to ensure a creamy texture that holds well when frozen.
- For dairy-free or vegan options, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative and ensure the chocolate is dairy-free.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Store the bark pieces in the freezer to keep them firm and fresh.
