Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt (plain full-fat)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional if not using vanilla yogurt)
Toppings
- ¼ cup berry jam
- 1 ½ cups blackberries (fresh or mixed berries)
- ¼ cup rice crispy cereal (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the yogurt from sticking and to make removal easier after freezing.
- Mix the Yogurt: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract, unless you are using pre-flavored vanilla yogurt. Stir thoroughly to ensure the vanilla is evenly distributed.
- Spread the Yogurt: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly in a thin layer to ensure even freezing and easy breaking of the bark later.
- Swirl the Jam: Drop spoonfuls of berry jam onto the yogurt layer. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the jam through the yogurt to create a marbled effect without fully mixing it.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the fresh blackberries evenly over the yogurt and jam layer. Then, sprinkle the rice crispy cereal on top, if using, to add a crunchy texture.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it freeze until very firm, which should take at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
- Break and Serve: Once frozen solid, break the yogurt bark into smaller pieces. Keep the pieces stored in a freezer-safe container to enjoy as a cool and creamy snack whenever desired.
Notes
- Use plain or vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt depending on your taste preference.
- Feel free to substitute blackberries with other fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
- The rice crispy cereal adds a nice crunch but can be omitted for a gluten-free or lighter option.
- Store any leftovers in the freezer to maintain texture and freshness.
- For a lower sugar option, use sugar-free or low-sugar berry jam.
