Tips & Variations

• Use Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and higher protein content.

• If you prefer a sweeter bark, stir a little honey or maple syrup into the yogurt before coloring.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt for this recipe?

Yes, flavored yogurts work well and add extra taste, but keep in mind they may affect the color vibrancy.

What type of food dye is best to use?

Gel or liquid food coloring both work fine; gel tends to produce more vibrant colors without thinning the yogurt too much.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Yogurt Base

• 1 1/2 cups yogurt (use your preferred flavor or plain Greek yogurt)

Color and Toppings

• Food dye (red, pink, blue, or other colors of choice)
• 2 tbsp sprinkles

Instructions

1. Prepare Baking Dish: Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy removal of the yogurt bark.
2. Divide Yogurt: Pour the 1 1/2 cups of yogurt evenly into three separate bowls for coloring.
3. Color Yogurt: Add 4-6 drops of red or pink food dye to one bowl and stir until fully combined. In the second bowl, add 4 drops of red and 4 drops of blue food dye, stirring similarly to mix the colors well. Feel free to experiment with other color combinations if desired.
4. Create Swirls: Spoon dollops of the different colored yogurts randomly into the parchment-lined baking dish. Use a spoon to gently swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect without over-mixing, so the colors remain distinguishable.
5. Add Sprinkles: Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sprinkles over the swirled yogurt mixture for added color, texture, and visual appeal.
6. Freeze: Place the baking dish in the freezer and chill for at least 4 hours or until the yogurt is completely frozen solid.
7. Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the baking dish from the freezer and lift out the yogurt bark with the parchment paper. Break it into hand-sized chunks for serving and enjoy a colorful, refreshing snack.

Notes

• You can use Greek yogurt or regular yogurt depending on your preference; Greek yogurt will yield a thicker, creamier bark.
• Choose natural food dyes if you prefer a healthier option.
• Feel free to customize the sprinkles with your favorite shapes and colors or omit them altogether for a cleaner look.
• Store any leftover yogurt bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
