Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup, for sweetness)
  • 1 large banana, sliced
  • 1/3 cup Nutella
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds, optional)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and honey. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Add a pinch of salt if desired to enhance the flavors.
  2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared sheet and spread it evenly into about a 1/4 inch thick layer.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the banana slices evenly over the yogurt layer. Drizzle Nutella over the top using a spoon or piping bag, swirling lightly with a knife for a marbled effect. Sprinkle chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips evenly on top, if using.
  4. Step 4: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until the yogurt bark is completely firm.
  5. Step 5: Remove the bark from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Break it into pieces and enjoy immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond milk yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
  • Try adding other fruits like berries or kiwi for different flavors and colors.
  • Use peanut butter instead of Nutella for a different nutty twist.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to taste.

Storage

Store any leftover frozen yogurt bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To serve, let pieces thaw for a few minutes at room temperature to soften slightly before enjoying. Avoid refreezing once thawed for the best texture.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?

Yes, flavored yogurt can be used, but the sweetness and flavor of the final bark may change. Using plain yogurt allows better control over sweetness and pairs well with the Nutella and banana.

How long can I keep the frozen yogurt bark in the freezer?

You can keep the frozen yogurt bark stored in the freezer for up to two weeks in an airtight container. Beyond that, the texture and flavor may start to deteriorate.

Notes

  • Use plain Greek yogurt for a thicker texture, or substitute with your favorite type of yogurt.
  • Honey can be replaced with maple syrup to keep the recipe vegan-friendly if a plant-based yogurt is used.
  • Chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips add texture and flavor but can be omitted for a simpler version.
  • Allow the bark to sit a few minutes after freezing before breaking to prevent cracking into too many small pieces.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
