FAQs

How do I keep the bark from becoming icy?

Make sure to use full-fat Greek yogurt, as it freezes with a creamier texture. Avoid excess moisture from the fruit by patting it dry before adding.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes, use plant-based yogurt and a vegan sweetener like maple syrup or agave.

What is the best way to cut the frozen bark?

Let it sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes, then use a sharp knife to cut it into pieces or simply break it into chunks by hand.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Fresh fruit is ideal for texture, but you can use frozen fruit if it’s thawed and well-drained to avoid excess moisture.

How long does it take to freeze completely?

It usually takes about 3 hours, but freezing overnight ensures a firmer bark.

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain?

Yes, but keep in mind that flavored yogurts often contain added sugar, which can make the bark sweeter than intended.

Is this recipe suitable for kids?

Absolutely. It’s a healthy snack or breakfast option for children, and they can even help make it.

What can I use instead of chia seeds?

You can substitute with flaxseeds, hemp seeds, or leave them out entirely if preferred.

Why is my yogurt bark too soft?

It may not have frozen long enough or the yogurt used was low in fat. Ensure it stays frozen until ready to eat.

Can I add protein powder to the yogurt?

Yes, mix a small amount of unflavored or vanilla protein powder into the yogurt before spreading it out.
