Recipe Guide
- → Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?
Using plain Greek yogurt is best to balance the sweetness and flavors of the toppings, but mild flavored yogurts can work if preferred.
- → How do I store the frozen yogurt bark?
Keep the bark in an airtight container in the freezer to retain its firmness and freshness for several days.
- → Can I substitute pistachios with other nuts?
Yes, almonds or walnuts can be used as alternatives, providing a different but delicious crunch.
- → Is it possible to make this dairy-free?
Absolutely; using a vegan yogurt base and maple syrup replaces dairy and honey, creating a vegan-friendly version.
- → What is the best way to break the bark into pieces?
Once fully frozen, gently tap or lift the bark to break it into chunks by hand or using a knife for cleaner edges.
