Ingredients
Base Mixture
- 1 ½ cups vanilla Greek yogurt (5% fat)
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- Juice of ½ lemon (about 1–1 ½ tablespoons)
Toppings
- 4 graham crackers, crushed
- 6 fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside for later.
- Mix the base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and lemon juice until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. You can also blend these ingredients in a food processor for a smoother consistency.
- Spread the yogurt mixture: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon or a spatula to create a flat layer.
- Add toppings: Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries and crushed graham crackers onto the top of the yogurt base, gently pressing them in so they stick.
- Freeze and serve: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and chill for about 2 hours or until the bark is firm. Once firm, break or cut into pieces or bars. Store in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer. Before eating, let the bark sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, but avoid leaving it out too long to prevent melting.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use a food processor to blend the yogurt, cream cheese, and lemon juice.
- You can swap out strawberries for other fresh fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
- This recipe is best enjoyed within 1 week when stored properly in the freezer.
- Make sure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the mixture.
- Allow the bark to temper a few minutes before eating to enhance the creamy texture without melting.
