Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (use plain for a tangy flavor or your favorite flavored variety)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (taste and adjust to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but adds a lovely aroma)

1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)

¼ cup chopped nuts (choose from almonds, walnuts, or pecans for added crunch)

2 tablespoons shredded coconut (unsweetened, optional, for a tropical touch)

A pinch of coarse sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey (or maple syrup) and optional vanilla extract. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

      Line the Baking Sheet:

        Take a baking sheet, approximately 9x13 inches, and line it with parchment paper. Leave some overhang along the edges to make lifting the bark out easier once frozen.

          Spread the Yogurt:

            Carefully pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it evenly into a layer about ½ inch thick, ensuring a flat and smooth surface.

              Add Toppings:

                Begin by evenly distributing the mixed berries across the surface of the yogurt. Then sprinkle the chopped nuts and shredded coconut on top. Gently press down on the toppings with your fingers or the spatula to ensure they adhere nicely to the yogurt.

                  Freeze the Bark:

                    Place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for a minimum of 3-4 hours or until the yogurt is fully solidified and firm to the touch.

                      Cut and Serve:

                        Once completely frozen, take the baking sheet out of the freezer. Lift the edges of the parchment paper to remove the yogurt bark from the pan, and transfer it onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the bark into squares or break it into irregular pieces using your hands for a rustic look.

                          Storage:

                            If there are any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. This delicious bark makes for an ideal quick snack or a light, refreshing dessert!
