Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts or other nuts (optional, for crunch)
Instructions
- Mix Yogurt and Peanut Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well blended.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet or a flat dish with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of the yogurt bark later.
- Spread the Mixture: Evenly spread the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a spatula. Smooth it out to about a 1/4 inch thick layer to ensure even freezing and an ideal texture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly over the yogurt base to distribute sweetness and chocolate flavor uniformly across the bark.
- Add Nuts for Crunch: Optionally, scatter chopped peanuts or any preferred nuts over the chocolate chips to add extra texture and nutty flavor to the bark.
- Freeze the Bark: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the bark to freeze for at least 2-3 hours until it is fully firm and frozen.
- Break into Pieces: Once frozen solid, gently lift the parchment paper and break the bark into shards or rectangles of your desired size.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately as a refreshing frozen treat, or store leftover pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture, or low-fat for a lighter version.
- Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing honey or maple syrup according to taste.
- Vanilla extract is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor.
- Feel free to substitute peanut butter with almond butter or another nut butter if preferred.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a less sweet, richer taste or milk chocolate for sweeter flavor.
- Ensure the bark is frozen completely before breaking to get clean shards.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by using plant-based yogurt and maple syrup.
