Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Bark

This refreshing summer treat can be made with any of your favourite toppings. Here we’ve gone with frozen berries, lemon zest, a swirl of jam, and a sprinkling of crunchy almonds for extra fibre and protein. Imagine a swirl of PB and a sprinkling of dark chocolate. Or dollops of lemon curd and chopped pistachios. The flavour potential is endless!

Ingredients

This recipe has ample wiggle room to experiment. Try adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to the yogurt mixture, in addition to your favourite toppings. You can also make it vegan by using dairy-free yogurt!

• Full-fat yogurt - a higher fat percent ensures the bark stays creamy once frozen, but lower fat and dairy-free yogurts are still delicious!

• Honey - adds a touch of sweetness and prevents crystallization. Omit if using sweetened yogurt.

• Frozen blueberries

• Blueberry jam

• Chopped almonds

• Lemon zest

how to make frozen yogurt bark

This recipe comes together in about 5-10 minutes but will take a few hours in the freezer to firm up.

Step 1: In a medium-sized bowl, mix 500 g (about 2 cups) of yogurt with lemon zest and honey. Mix well.

Step 2: Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil. Pour yogurt mixture on top and spread with a rubber spatula until about 1 ½ cm thick (or thicker if you prefer!)

Step 3: Dollop jam on top and swirl into yogurt with the handle of a spoon or a toothpick.

Step 4: Sprinkle blueberries and almonds on top.

Step 5: Place yogurt in the freezer for a few hours (~3 hours), until completely frozen. Remove from the freezer and break or cut the bark into pieces.

To store, layer yogurt bark between parchment paper and place in a sealed, freezer-safe container. Enjoy within 2-3 weeks.
