Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
Toppings
- 1/4 cup natural unsweetened peanut butter
- 1/4 cup raspberry or strawberry jam or jelly
- 2 tbsp freeze-dried berries
- 2 tbsp crushed pistachios
Instructions
- Prepare the Freezing Surface: Clear space in your freezer and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Mix Yogurt Base: In a bowl, blend the plain Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if using, stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly sweetened.
- Spread Yogurt Layer: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even 1/4-inch thick layer using a spatula for uniform thickness.
- Add Peanut Butter and Jelly: Dot the surface with spoonfuls of peanut butter and jelly. Using a spoon or knife, gently swirl the two into the yogurt to create a marbled pattern, being careful not to overmix.
- Freeze to Set: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the bark is completely firm.
- Add Toppings: Once firm, remove the bark from the freezer and sprinkle the top with crushed pistachios and freeze-dried berries. Press lightly so they adhere to the surface.
- Break and Store: Break the frozen bark into shards or chunks. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer to keep fresh.
- Serve: Before serving, allow the bark to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier eating.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Honey or maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted or omitted based on sweetness preference.
- Freeze-dried berries add a crunchy, tangy contrast but can be substituted with fresh berries if preferred; just add after freezing.
- Make sure the bark is frozen solid before breaking to get clean shards.
- Store in the freezer in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture for up to 2 weeks.
