Equipment

  • Rimmed sheet pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Medium mixing bowl

Ingredients
 

  • 3 cups whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prep the Pan

  • Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper. Smooth the paper flat to ensure even thickness and neat edges for the bark.

Mix the Yogurt Base

  • In a medium bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with the maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract. Mix until the surface looks glossy and uniform with no visible streaks.
  • For the velvet twist, you may whisk in 2 tablespoons of almond butter or tahini at this stage until the mixture is silky and turns a shade warmer.

Spread, Top, and Freeze

  • Spoon the yogurt mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Spread it into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle, ensuring the layer is even and approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  • Scatter the sliced strawberries and mini chocolate chips evenly across the surface. Gently press the toppings into the yogurt so they adhere well.
  • Place the pan level in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours. The bark is ready when it is completely hard and no longer bendy in the center.
  • Cut or break the frozen slab into 32 pieces. Work quickly to keep the bark cold and serve immediately.

Notes

Texture Secret: Use whole-milk Greek yogurt rather than non-fat options. The higher fat content prevents large ice crystals from forming, resulting in a creamy bite rather than an icy slab.
Storage Tip: Store the pieces in an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag with parchment paper between layers. This prevents the pieces from fusing together and helps avoid freezer burn.
Serving Advice: Only remove the amount you plan to eat immediately. Because of the yogurt base, the bark will begin to soften into a pudding-like consistency if left at room temperature for more than 15 to 20 minutes.
