FAQs

Can I use low-fat or non-fat yogurt?

Yes, you can, but full-fat Greek yogurt provides the best creamy texture and flavor. Low-fat versions may result in a less rich bark.

How do I prevent the bark from sticking to the parchment paper?

Make sure to use parchment paper and freeze the bark completely before removing it. If it sticks, allow it to thaw for a minute or two to loosen before peeling off.
