Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 2% or higher
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup strawberries, diced, divided
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well mixed.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the yogurt mixture evenly into a single layer using a spatula. Set it aside.

4. Step 4: Quickly fold 3/4 of the diced strawberries into the melted chocolate to combine, taking care not to let the chocolate harden.

6. Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 4 hours until the bark is fully hardened.
7. Step 7: Once frozen, cut the bark into pieces with a knife or break it apart by hand. Store the pieces in a freezer-safe bag or container.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
• Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or shredded coconut for extra crunch.
• Substitute strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries.
• If you prefer a less sweet bark, reduce the maple syrup amount.

Storage

Keep the Greek yogurt bark stored in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in the freezer. No need to thaw before serving; simply break off a piece and enjoy straight from the freezer for a cool, refreshing treat.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, which helps the bark set properly. Regular yogurt may make the bark too soft and less stable when frozen.

Can I melt the chocolate on the stove instead of the microwave?

Yes, you can melt chocolate and coconut oil gently over a double boiler on the stove, stirring until smooth and melted, as an alternative to microwaving.

Greek Yogurt Base

• 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 2% or higher

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Fruit

• 1 cup strawberries, diced, divided

Chocolate Topping

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 tbsp coconut oil

Optional

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully blended.
2. Spread Yogurt on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly in a single layer using a spatula. Set the baking sheet aside.
3. Melt Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. Mix Strawberries with Chocolate: Quickly fold 3/4 of the diced strawberries into the melted chocolate, distributing them evenly but acting fast so the chocolate doesn’t harden.
5. Assemble the Bark: Spread the chocolate-strawberry mixture evenly over the layer of Greek yogurt on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of diced strawberries on top. Optionally, add a few pinches of flaky sea salt for a subtle contrast in flavor.
6. Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt bark is fully hardened.
7. Serve and Store: Once frozen, cut the bark into pieces using a knife or break it by hand. Store the pieces in a freezer-safe bag or container to keep them fresh and ready to enjoy.

Notes

• Use Greek yogurt with at least 2% fat for best creamy texture.
• Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar for different sweeteners.
• Ensure the chocolate mixture is spread quickly before it hardens.
• Store bark in the freezer as it will soften at room temperature.
• Try using dark chocolate chips for a less sweet variation.
