Ingredients
Method
- Line a baking tray (roughly 30x20cm) with baking parchment. Make sure the paper comes up the sides — this makes pulling the bark out much easier later. The tray should feel cool to the touch.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir vigorously with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and glossy, with no streaks of honey visible. It should smell sweet and creamy, with a thick, spoonable consistency.
- Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined tray. Spread it into an even layer about 1cm thick using a spatula or the back of a spoon. The surface should look smooth and uniform, with the yogurt holding its shape without running.
- Scatter the mixed berries evenly over the top. Press them gently into the yogurt so they're partially submerged — you want them to freeze into the bark, not sit on top. If using frozen berries, you'll see a slight colour bleed, which looks lovely.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts and chia seeds over the berries. Pat them down lightly so they stick. The surface should now look like a colourful mosaic, with pockets of red, blue, and green.
- Place the tray flat in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the bark is completely solid. When you tap the surface, it should feel rock-hard and make a dull thud sound.
- Once frozen, lift the bark out using the parchment overhang. Place it on a cutting board. Let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes — you'll see the edges soften slightly and the surface become a little glossy. Break or cut into 8 rough pieces. The bark should snap cleanly with a satisfying crack.
- Transfer the pieces to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag, layering with parchment to prevent sticking. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey. Omit nuts for a nut-free option. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
