How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your frozen yogurt bark.

Line the Baking Sheet

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with wax paper and set aside. This will create a smooth surface for spreading the yogurt, preventing sticking and ensuring easy removal once frozen.

Whisk the Yogurt Mixture

In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk until well combined and creamy. Adjust sweetener according to your taste preference, keeping in mind that freezing mutes sweetness slightly.

Spread the Mixture

Pour the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread it evenly, making it about 1/4 inch thick. Aim for a smooth, satiny surface to ensure uniform freezing and thaws for each piece.

Add the Toppings

Scatter the blueberries, raspberries, sliced cherries, and shredded coconut evenly across the yogurt mixture. Press them down slightly into the yogurt to ensure they adhere once frozen.

Freeze Until Firm

Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least three hours. It’s important not to open the freezer during this time as it will slow the firming process.

Break into Pieces

Once fully frozen, remove the bark and break it into irregular pieces. It should snap cleanly; if it bends, it requires more time in the freezer.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
Freezer: Yes, perfect for long-term storage up to 3 months.
Reheat: No reheating necessary; serve directly from the freezer.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure your yogurt mixture is well-whisked to avoid pockets of sweetness.
• Use fresh fruit for the best flavor and texture.
• Don’t skip the freezing time to achieve a solid, easy-to-break bark.
• Layer pieces between wax paper for optimal storage in the freezer.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve as a refreshing summer dessert at gatherings.
• Pair with a scoop of ice cream for a delightful treat.
• Enjoy as a healthy on-the-go snack for busy days.
