Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek Yogurt: Use plain Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor. If you want something sweeter, vanilla yogurt works great! For a dairy-free version, try coconut yogurt or almond yogurt.
Graham Crackers: These are essential for that S’mores taste. If you’re gluten-free, look for gluten-free graham cracker alternatives or even rice cakes for crunch.
Mini Marshmallows: They add that classic S’mores flair. If you can’t find mini ones, just chop up regular marshmallows. You could also use vegan marshmallows for a dairy-free option.
Chocolate Chips: I recommend using semi-sweet mini chocolate chips, but you can also try dark chocolate or white chocolate chips for a different twist!
How Do You Freeze Yogurt Bark Without Ice Crystals?
Freezing yogurt bark is simple but do keep these tips in mind to avoid ice crystals forming. First, ensure your yogurt layer is thick enough; about 1/4 inch is perfect. Thin layers may freeze unevenly.
- Using parchment paper helps keep the bark from sticking.
- Make sure the yogurt mixture is well-mixed and smooth. This prevents separation during freezing.
- Once frozen, store the pieces in an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent freezer burn.
Follow these steps, and you’ll get a delicious treat to enjoy on warm days!
How to Make S’mores Yogurt Bark
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Base Ingredients:
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
For the Toppings:
- 6-8 graham cracker sheets, broken into pieces
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Optional: small silver sprinkles or edible glitter for garnish
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious S’mores Yogurt Bark takes about 10 minutes to prepare, plus 3-4 hours to freeze. In no time, you’ll have a refreshing sweet treat to enjoy anytime!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet:
Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the yogurt bark from sticking. Make sure to smooth it out so no creases remain!
2. Mix the Yogurt:
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if you’d like some added sweetness. Stir it together until it’s well-mixed and creamy.
3. Spread the Yogurt:
Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick. The thicker it is, the creamier it will be once frozen!
4. Add Graham Crackers:
Take the broken graham cracker pieces and scatter them over the yogurt layer. Press them down gently so they stick into the yogurt.
5. Top with Marshmallows and Chocolate:
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly across the surface of the yogurt. Next, add your mini chocolate chips over the marshmallows to create a delicious topping.
6. Optional Touch:
If you want to make your yogurt bark extra special, sprinkle some edible glitter or silver sprinkles on top. It adds a fun touch!
7. Freeze the Bark:
Now it’s time to freeze! Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it chill for at least 3-4 hours, or until the yogurt is completely firm.
8. Break into Pieces:
Once your yogurt is frozen solid, take it out of the freezer. Carefully peel it off the parchment paper and break it into irregular pieces. Perfect snack size!
9. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your S’mores Yogurt Bark immediately or store it in an airtight container in the freezer until you’re ready for a sweet treat. Enjoy this refreshing twist on a classic favorite!
Can I Use Non-Dairy Yogurt for This Recipe?
Absolutely! You can use any non-dairy yogurt, such as almond, coconut, or soy yogurt. Just ensure it’s thick enough to hold the toppings well!
How Long Can I Store S’mores Yogurt Bark?
You can store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking!
What Variations Can I Try?
You can customize your S’mores Yogurt Bark by adding different toppings like crushed nuts, fruit, or even a drizzle of peanut butter or caramel sauce for extra flavor!
Can I Use Regular Marshmallows Instead Of Mini Marshmallows?
Yes, you can use regular marshmallows! Just cut them into smaller pieces so they distribute evenly on the bark.
