Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat; dairy-free substitutes work too)
  • 3.5 tablespoons key lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons powdered Swerve (or 1 tablespoon honey; adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (such as Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened toasted coconut flakes
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, vanilla protein powder, lime zest, powdered Swerve (or your sweetener), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the sheet, forming a thin, uniform layer.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut flakes, and additional lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer.
  4. Step 4: Freeze the baking sheet for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is fully frozen and firm.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the freezer, lift the parchment paper or mat from the baking sheet, and break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately, or store the pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Tips & Variations

  • For a creamier, less icy texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of low-fat.
  • Customize your bark by adding fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, or try toppings like nut butter, dark chocolate chips, granola, or nuts.
  • Use gluten-free or regular graham crackers depending on dietary needs.

Storage

Store yogurt bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To prevent sticking, keep the pieces in a single layer or separate layers with parchment paper. When ready to enjoy, let the bark sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before eating.

FAQs

Why is my yogurt bark icy?

This usually happens with lower-fat yogurt or if the bark has been frozen too long. Using full-fat Greek yogurt helps reduce iciness due to higher fat content. Also, try to consume within 2 weeks for the best texture. If icy crystals don’t bother you, any yogurt type will work.

How long can you keep yogurt bark in the freezer?

Yogurt bark can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. For the freshest taste and texture, try to enjoy it within this time frame.
