Frozen yoghurt bark recipe
This recipe is the most simple thing you will ever prepare. All you need to do is spread some yoghurt on a flat tray, top it with fruits, nuts or any toppings of your choice, and freeze it.
Step-by-step recipe guide
Preparation time - 10 minutes
Setting time - 3 to 4 hours
Serving - 10 to 12 barks
Ingredients
400 gms Greek yoghurt
25 gms Stevia powder or honey
50 gms fresh strawberries
50 gms blueberry granola (store-bought)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Method
Remove the leafy part of the strawberries and slice them evenly.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
Take yoghurt in a bowl and add stevia powder and vanilla extract. Whisk it together until well combined.
Pour the yoghurt on the lined tray and spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Place the sliced strawberries on top of the yoghurt randomly. Sprinkle the granola in the remaining space.

Once set, lift the frozen yoghurt from the tray using the parchment paper. Cut the frozen slab into pieces using a knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container to serve later.
Tips
1. To make a more decadent yoghurt bark, use half yoghurt and half cream instead of all yoghurt.
2. Add any sweetener, such as honey or castor sugar. Just make sure to adjust the amount according to your sweetness preference.
3. To customise the flavour of the yoghurt base, you can add fruit purees or even cocoa powder.
4. You can replace the toppings with any berries, nuts, coconut shavings, or any other toppings of your choice.
5. To add flavour and texture, you can top the bark with a swirl of peanut butter, melted chocolate, or other nut butter.
6. Allow the bark to set completely before removing it from the freezer.
