I love how easy it is to whip up! Just spread yogurt, sprinkle toppings, freeze, and then enjoy. It’s a delicious snack that feels like a special treat—perfect for any day! 🍫
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek Yogurt: This is the base of our bark. I love using plain yogurt for its tanginess, but vanilla yogurt can add some sweetness. If you’re dairy-free, try coconut yogurt for a similar creaminess.
Honey or Maple Syrup: These sweeteners are optional, but I like to add them to enhance the flavor of the yogurt. If you prefer sugar-free, consider using stevia or agave syrup instead.
Mini Marshmallows: These give that classic s’mores texture. You could substitute with homemade marshmallows or marshmallow fluff if needed. Vegan marshmallows are great if you’re looking for a plant-based option!
Milk Chocolate Chips: Milk chocolate adds sweetness, but semi-sweet or dark chocolate can work as a great substitute. For a fun twist, try using flavored chips like caramel or peanut butter.
Graham Crackers: Crushed graham crackers bring the s’mores crunch. If you want a gluten-free version, look for gluten-free graham crackers or use crushed nuts or oats for a unique texture.
How Do I Toast the Marshmallows Without a Campfire?
Toasting marshmallows can be tricky if you’re not at a campfire. Here are a couple of easy methods:
- If you have a kitchen torch, gently roast the marshmallows until they’re golden brown. Keep moving the torch around for even browning.
- Alternatively, place them under a broiler for just 1-2 minutes. Watch them closely as they can burn quickly!
Once they’re toasted, it adds a delicious flavor and a fun texture to your yogurt bark. Enjoy crafting this fun dessert!
How to Make S’mores Yogurt Bark
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup graham crackers, crushed
- A pinch of coarse sea salt (optional)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This S’mores Yogurt Bark takes about 10 minutes to prepare and then requires 3-4 hours to freeze completely. So, you can whip it up in a jiffy and then let it chill, perfect for an easy snack or dessert!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Tray:
Start by lining a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the yogurt from sticking and make it easy to remove once it’s frozen.
2. Mix the Yogurt:
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if you want to add a touch of sweetness. Use a whisk or spoon to blend everything together until smooth.
3. Spread the Yogurt:
Take your yogurt mixture and spread it evenly onto the lined baking sheet. Aim for a thin layer, about 1/4 inch thick, so it freezes well.
4. Add Toppings:
Now, sprinkle the crushed graham crackers evenly over the yogurt layer. Then, add the milk chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, spreading them out so you get a bit of everything in each bite!
5. Add a Touch of Salt:
If you like, sprinkle a pinch of coarse sea salt on top to add a nice contrast to the sweetness. This little bit of salt can enhance the flavor wonderfully!
6. Toast the Marshmallows (Optional):
If you want to take this up a notch, using a kitchen torch, gently toast the marshmallows until they are golden brown. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the tray under a broiler for 1-2 minutes—just keep an eye on it so they don’t burn!
7. Freeze:
Once everything is assembled, place the tray in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until it’s completely solid. This waiting time is essential for the perfect texture.
8. Serve:
Once the yogurt bark is frozen, take it out of the freezer and break it into pieces. You can enjoy it right away or store it in an airtight container in the freezer for later. This makes a great snack anytime!
Now, enjoy your refreshing, frozen S’mores Yogurt Bark! It’s a delightful twist on the classic s’mores flavors, perfect for warm days or a cool treat anytime. Happy snacking!
Can I Use a Different Type of Yogurt?
Absolutely! While Greek yogurt is preferred for its creaminess, you can use regular yogurt or even dairy-free yogurt alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt. Just keep in mind that this may slightly change the flavor and texture.
How Should I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover S’mores Yogurt Bark in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep well for up to a month, but it’s best enjoyed fresh for optimal taste and texture!
Can I Customize the Toppings?
Definitely! Feel free to swap the chocolate chips with white chocolate or dark chocolate, and try using different types of nuts or dried fruit instead of graham crackers for added crunch and flavor.
What If I Don’t Have a Kitchen Torch?
No worries! If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can easily toast the marshmallows by placing the tray under a broiler for about 1-2 minutes. Just make sure to keep a close watch to prevent burning!
