Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat for higher protein; dairy-free yogurt can be substituted)
  • 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
  • 2 tbsp powdered swerve or 1 tbsp honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (e.g., Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened toasted coconut
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, vanilla protein powder, lime zest, powdered swerve (or your sweetener of choice), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the sheet in a thin, even layer.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut, and additional lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer.
  4. Step 4: Freeze the baking sheet for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until the yogurt bark is fully frozen and firm.
  5. Step 5: Once frozen, remove from the freezer. Lift the parchment paper or silicone mat and break the bark into pieces.
  6. Step 6: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, keeping pieces in a single layer or separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Tips & Variations

  • For a creamier texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of low-fat or non-fat.
  • Customize your bark by adding fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
  • Try other toppings such as sliced bananas, nut butters (peanut or almond), dark chocolate chips, granola, or nuts for variety.

Storage

Store your yogurt bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To prevent pieces from sticking together, store them in a single layer or separate layers with parchment paper. When ready to eat, enjoy straight from the freezer or let soften for a few minutes at room temperature.

How to Serve

The image shows several pieces of a creamy white bark-like dessert with small toasted brown coconut flakes and light green lime zest scattered throughout. The bark pieces are uneven squares and rectangles stacked loosely in a white parchment-lined metal tray. Bright green lime slices with visible juicy segments are placed on top and around the bark, adding freshness and color contrast. The background has a soft focus with a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular lime juice instead of key lime juice?

Yes, regular lime juice can be used as a substitute, though key lime juice offers a slightly different, tangier flavor typical of key lime pie.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely! Substitute the Greek yogurt with any dairy-free yogurt of your choice and use a plant-based protein powder to keep it vegan-friendly.
