Tips & Variations

  • For a nut-free option, substitute almonds with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
  • Try adding other fruits like kiwi, mango, or raspberries for different flavors.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bark, drizzle extra honey on top before freezing.
  • Use flavored yogurt for a twist, but reduce or omit added sweeteners accordingly.

Storage

Store yogurt bark pieces in an airtight container or zip-lock bag in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to eat, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, regular plain yogurt works well but may result in a slightly softer texture. Greek yogurt makes the bark creamier and firmer.

How long does it take to freeze yogurt bark?

It needs at least 2 hours to freeze firmly. For best results, freeze overnight to ensure it’s fully set and easy to break into pieces.
