Raspberry Pistachio Vanilla Frozen Greek Yogurt Bark
Ingredients:
2 cups full fat plain Greek yogurt
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/2 cup fresh raspberries, halved
1/3 cup chopped pistachios
How to make it:
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix yogurt with maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until evenly mixed and smooth.
- Pour yogurt onto the middle of the baking pan and spread evenly. It should be ~1/4 inch thick.
- Top with raspberry halves and pistachios. Freeze for ~2 hours, or until completely firm.
- Break the bark into pieces. Store in a freezer bag until ready to serve.
Recipe notes:
- If your family enjoys plain yogurt, feel free to cut back the added maple syrup to 1-2 Tbsp.
- No maple syrup? Swap for honey or any other liquid sweetener.
- This will thaw quickly. Keep in the freezer until serving.

Chocolate Peppermint Frozen Greek Yogurt Bark
Ingredients:
1 1/2 + 1/4 cups of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/4 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp peppermint extract (optional)
1 tbsp honey (or more, to taste)
6 candy canes, crushed
Pinch of coarse salt
How to make it:
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt 1.5 cups of chocolate chips. To melt, boil ~1/4 pot of water on the stove. Place chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl that will fit on top of the pit. Stir frequently until chocolate chips have completely melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Refrigerate until the chocolate is almost set, ~8 minutes.
- While you’re waiting for the chocolate to set, combine the yogurt, vanilla extract, peppermint extract (if using), and honey. Mix until evenly combined.
- Spread yogurt over the chocolate and spread evenly. Sprinkle crushed candy canes, mini chocolate chips, and salt. Freeze for about 2 hours, or until the yogurt has completely set.
- Remove from the freezer and break into pieces. Store in a freezer bag until serving.
Recipe notes:
- Peppermint extract has a very strong flavour. Omit if you’re not a huge peppermint fan – the candy canes will still add a peppermint flavour
- Add more honey, to taste. You can still taste the tart flavour of the plain yogurt with only 1 tbsp of honey. Add an additional tbsp if your family isn’t used to eating plain yogurt.
- This will thaw quickly. Keep in the freezer until serving.
