Strawberry Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Bark recipes
This recipe outlines a simple and healthy method for creating strawberry blueberry frozen yogurt bark. It involves combining plain yogurt with maple syrup, spreading it thinly on a baking sheet, topping with fresh berries, and freezing until solid. This quick and refreshing treat is perfect for a light dessert or snack.
Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Spatula or whisk
- 1 Baking Sheet
- 1 Parchment Paper
- 1 Sharp Knife for slicing strawberries
Ingredients
Main
- 1 cup plain yogurt we use whole milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 4 strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it lies flat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the plain whole milk yogurt and maple syrup.
- Whisk or stir well until the maple syrup is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a spatula, spread the yogurt evenly into a thin layer, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Carefully arrange the 1/4 cup of blueberries evenly over the yogurt layer.
- Slice the 4 strawberries and distribute them artfully across the yogurt, ensuring even coverage.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for a minimum of 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt is completely solid.
- Once frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer.
- Break the frozen yogurt into irregular pieces or 'bark' and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
For best results, use a full-fat plain yogurt to achieve a creamier, richer bark texture that's less prone to ice crystal formation. Greek yogurt can also be used for an even thicker, protein-rich base, but it might require a touch more maple syrup to balance the tartness. Ensure your baking sheet is perfectly flat to allow for even spreading and freezing. For an enhanced flavor profile, consider a hint of vanilla extract or a pinch of lemon zest in the yogurt mixture. When breaking, a clean, sharp snap indicates proper freezing. Serve immediately from the freezer.
