Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt (plain; thick, not runny)
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries, or blackberries; fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (almonds, pistachios, pecans, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds; optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons shredded coconut (unsweetened; optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional but delicious)
  • Pinch of sea salt (to balance the sweetness)
  • Lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
  • Parchment paper (for lining the pan)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the pan: Line a rimmed baking sheet or 9x13-inch dish with parchment paper. Leave a little overhang so you can lift the bark out easily.
  2. Mix the yogurt base: In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt. Taste and adjust sweetness. The mixture should be creamy and slightly sweet.
  3. Spread it out: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined pan. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick. Thicker layers are creamier; thinner layers freeze harder and crunchier.
  4. Add the berries: Scatter the berries evenly over the yogurt. If using frozen berries, add them straight from the freezer to prevent color bleed.
  5. Top with crunch: Sprinkle nuts or seeds, coconut, and chocolate chips over the top. Add a little lemon zest if you like a bright, tangy note.
  6. Freeze: Place the pan in the freezer for 2–4 hours, or until completely solid. Avoid peeking too often; let it set fully.
  7. Break into pieces: Lift the bark out using the parchment. Break it into shards with your hands or cut into squares with a sharp knife.
  8. Serve: Enjoy straight from the freezer. The bark will soften quickly at room temperature, so only take out what you plan to eat.
