Making Your Own Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat; substitute dairy-free yogurt if preferred)
  • 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
  • 2 tbsp powdered Swerve (or substitute with 1 tbsp honey; adjust for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (try Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)

Directions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, protein powder, lime zest, powdered Swerve (or your choice of sweetener), and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly across the baking sheet, creating a thin layer.
  3. Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut, and extra lime zest over the layer of yogurt.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is fully frozen and set.
  5. Once frozen, take the baking sheet out of the freezer. Lift the parchment paper or silicone mat from the baking sheet and break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.
  6. Enjoy immediately or store the pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Keep the bark in a single layer or separated by parchment paper to avoid sticking.
