Refreshing Greek Yogurt Bark
How to Make Refreshing and Delicious Greek Yogurt Bark
Greek yogurt bark has been trending on social media lately, and I couldn’t resist trying it myself! This is an incredibly simple recipe, easier than most other dishes. It’s a delightful, cool, and refreshing treat that’s perfect for a snack or a special dessert.
Ingredients
- 200g thick Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/3 banana
- 3-4 frozen strawberries
- 1 handful frozen blueberries
- 1 handful cashews
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place 200g of thick Greek yogurt into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to sweeten it and mix well until smooth and combined. This step balances the tanginess of the yogurt with a pleasant sweetness.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice 1/3 of a banana. Slicing them thinly (about 0.5 cm thick) ensures they don’t become too hard when frozen.
Step 3
If your frozen strawberries are very hard, let them thaw slightly. Then, slice them thinly (about 0.5 cm thick). Aim for visually appealing slices.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet or a large plate with parchment paper. Carefully pour the Greek yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the yogurt as evenly and flatly as possible. This is crucial for easy breaking or cutting later.
Step 5
Arrange the thinly sliced banana, sliced strawberries, a handful of frozen blueberries, and a handful of cashews decoratively over the flattened yogurt. Feel free to add or substitute your favorite fruits and nuts!
Step 6
Gently press down on the toppings with your fingers or a small spatula. This helps the fruits and nuts adhere to the yogurt and ensures the bark holds together well once frozen.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 3 hours, or until completely solid. For a firmer texture, freezing for 4-5 hours is recommended.
Step 8
Once frozen solid, remove the Greek yogurt bark from the freezer and peel off the parchment paper. Break or cut it into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife. You should hear a satisfying crisp snap.
Step 9
Your refreshing Greek yogurt bark is ready! Enjoy it immediately for the best cool and crisp texture. It’s a perfect healthy snack or a delightful dessert.
