This Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark is easy to make. You mix the yogurt with key lime juice, sweetener, and other flavors. Then, spread the mixture onto a baking sheet, add your toppings, and freeze until set. It’s that simple!
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat for higher protein can substitute dairy-free yogurt of choice)
- 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
- 2 tbsp powdered swerve (or sub 1 tbsp honey. Adjust sweetness level to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (I used Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)
Directions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, protein powder, lime juice, lime zest, powdered swerve (or sweetener of choice), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, even layer.
- Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut, and lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is fully frozen and set.
- Once frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Lift the parchment paper or silicone mat from the baking sheet and break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.
- Enjoy immediately or store the bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Store the bark in a single layer or between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
