Ingredients

How to Make Yogurt Bark with Orange and Black Berries
1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture
In a bowl, combine the yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
2. Spread the Yogurt
Line a baking sheet or freezer-safe tray with parchment paper. Spread the yogurt mixture into an even layer about ¼ inch thick.
3. Add the Fruit
Scatter the orange pieces, blackberries, and blueberries over the yogurt. Gently press the fruit into the surface. Add mini chocolate chips if desired.
4. Freeze Until Firm
Place the tray in the freezer for 3–4 hours, or until the yogurt is completely solid.
5. Break and Serve
Remove the frozen bark from the tray and break it into irregular pieces. Serve immediately while frozen.
Tips for the Best Yogurt Bark
- Use thick yogurt: Greek yogurt creates a creamy bark that is easy to spread.
- Dry the fruit: Pat washed berries dry to reduce excess moisture.
- Keep the layer even: A thinner layer freezes more quickly and breaks easily.
- Cut fruit into small pieces: This helps the bark hold together and makes it easier to eat.
- Store properly: Keep pieces in an airtight, freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers for up to one month for best quality.
