I love how amazing new food trends are being created on social media internet websites and some of them go viral and get loads of attention. One of them that is making a huge buzz is around what is called “bark” – layers of yummy foods placed in flat layers on top of each other then frozen. Once frozen the “bark” is broken or cut into squares.
The bottom layer is usually something that can be sliced in flat pieces like dates, yogurt, chocolate, cottage cheese, banana slices or even strawberry slices. Then layers of yummy things like dried fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, melted chocolate and coconut is added to create a simple and healthy dessert or snack. Then the whole thing is frozen and broken or cut into pieces.
I have tried a few of these recipes recently and they do not disappoint. Its not every day that a food trend exceeds my expectations, but this yogurt bark is definitely a winner. If you are someone who craves chocolate candy bars but wants something a bit more wholesome, this bark recipe is a game-changer. What sets it apart is its blend of yummy ingredients that come together in the perfect balance of sweet, salty and crunchy.
I’ve taken the flavors I love and turned them into something that feels like a treat but is made with nutrient-dense, clean ingredients. A sprinkle of sea salt ties it all together. And with no refined sugars or artificial ingredients, this bark feels like a healthier alternative, but it’s still satisfying like a candy bar.
It is an unexpected dessert you will love making and eating! Endless flavor possibilities, 4-6 ingredients, 5 minutes to put together and 1-2 hours to chill. It’s hard to even call this a recipe. In fact, there are really no measurements needed. You can swap out the dried fruit and nuts for whatever fits the occasion or you have on hand. Truth be told, it’s a great way to use up those last little bits in your cupboard!
I will warn you, however, that this yogurt bark is addictive. The little pieces just never seem to quite satisfy my cravings but you might have more will power than me! Dangerously easy to make with endless combinations. Break into bite sizes pieces to share with friends and family. Homemade yogurt bark is a great way of lifting simple ingredients to a higher level, and the beauty of it doesn’t reside in the end product only.
Making your own frozen bark is such a fun way of being creative in the kitchen and something you can do with children. It’s not as messy as some other desserts, and your kids can let their creativity go wild. Yogurt bark is the easiest treat to make. Just mix, spread, add some other ingredients and you are done! You could make different batches with your favourite flavour combinations.
Blend the yogurt up with some ripe banana for natural sweetness, throw in some walnuts, crunchy cacao nibs, drizzle some nut butter or melted chocolate on top if you are feeling fancy and you have got yourself a frozen healthy treat that you will not be able to keep around.
How cool is it to take some yogurt and transform it into a fun and tasty snack? I mean, one minute you are eating yogurt, the next you can use that same yogurt for something that looks like it took effort to put together! In reality you literally throw the ingredients on top of each other and let the freezer do the rest.
It is not only incredibly delicious, but also the perfect plant-based, no-bake dessert or treat you can snack on without a guilty conscience. Try the easy recipe and get inspired by this fabulous trend!
