Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek Yogurt: This is the base of your yogurt bark. I prefer plain or vanilla Greek yogurt for its creamy texture. If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, coconut yogurt works great!
Honey or Maple Syrup: These sweeteners add a touch of sweetness. If you want it sugar-free, you could use a drop of stevia or leave it out entirely for a tangier yogurt.
Mini Marshmallows: They give that classic s’mores feel. If you want to skip them, consider using a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a fun twist!
Chocolate Chips: Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor. You can substitute with white chocolate chips if you prefer something sweeter.
Graham Crackers: The crushed graham crackers add crunch. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers or crushed almonds.
How Can You Ensure Your Yogurt Bark Stays Creamy Yet Crispy?
The key to a great yogurt bark is the freezing technique. Start by lining your baking sheet well with parchment paper; this prevents sticking. Be sure to spread the yogurt layer evenly and not too thin, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. This allows it to freeze nicely while keeping that creamy texture.
- Mix yogurt with honey until smooth.
- Evenly spread the yogurt mixture on your prepared baking sheet.
- Add toppings, pressing them gently into the yogurt to help them stick.
- Freeze for at least 3-4 hours for a solid bark.
Once frozen, break it into fun pieces and store them in an airtight container if you have leftovers!
How to Make S’mores Yogurt Bark
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- Optional: colorful sprinkles for garnish
How Much Time Will You Need?
This S’mores Yogurt Bark takes about 15 minutes to prep, and then it needs to freeze for about 3-4 hours. So, you’ll have a delicious treat ready in just a little while!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Start by lining a baking sheet or shallow pan with parchment paper. This is super important so that nothing sticks when we freeze the yogurt bark!
2. Mix the Yogurt:
In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt. If you like it sweeter, stir in the honey or maple syrup until everything is smooth and well combined.
3. Spread the Yogurt Layer:
Now, take the yogurt mixture and spread it evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick so it freezes nicely.
4. Add the Fun Toppings:
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly across the top of the yogurt layer. Then, add the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate on top of the marshmallows. Finally, finish it off with crushed graham crackers and, if you like, some colorful sprinkles!
5. Freeze It:
Carefully place your baking sheet in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until completely solid. This is the hardest part because you’ll have to wait!
6. Break Into Pieces:
Once frozen, take the bark out of the freezer. Now, break it into irregular pieces—you can decide how big or small you want each piece to be!
7. Enjoy or Store:
You can enjoy your S’mores Yogurt Bark right away or store the pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for later. They make an awesome snack anytime you want something sweet and cool!
Enjoy your delicious, refreshing S’mores Yogurt Bark! It’s a perfect way to bring the campfire flavors home!
Can I Use Different Yogurt Flavors?
Absolutely! While plain or vanilla Greek yogurt is great, feel free to experiment with flavored yogurts like chocolate or strawberry for a fun twist on the taste!
What Can I Substitute for Marshmallows?
If you’re not a fan of marshmallows, try using chopped dried fruits, such as cranberries or apricots, for a chewy texture and added flavor. Alternatively, consider using another crunchy topping like nuts or seeds.
How to Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. This keeps them fresh and crunchy for up to a month. Just remember to let them thaw for a couple of minutes before enjoying, so they aren’t too hard!
Can I Make It Vegan?
Yes! Use coconut yogurt or any plant-based yogurt alternative instead of Greek yogurt. For sweetening, you can replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar to keep it vegan-friendly.
