Your Questions Answered
Best yogurt for frozen bark?
Thick Greek yogurt (2% or whole) for creamy snap; DF Greek-style coconut/soy works well. Learn why protein matters via the Academy <a href="http://For a quick overview of yogurt and protein, see the <a href="https://www.eatright.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Academy of Nutrition and Dieteticsof Nutrition and Dietetics.
How do I prevent iciness?
Use 2%+ fat yogurt, keep layer ~¼ inch, and press toppings in so fruit moisture integrates.
How long to set?
2–4 hours depending on thickness and freezer load; the center should be fully firm.
Add protein powder?
Yes-1 scoop into the base; thin with 1-2 Tbsp milk if too thick. Prefer a dedicated protein version? Make my Chocolate Chip Protein Yogurt Bark.
Clean squares instead of shards?
Warm a chef’s knife under hot water, wipe dry, then press straight down. Work quickly, and if the bark softens, pop it back in the freezer for 5 minutes between cuts.
