Ingredients
• 1 1/2 cup Whole milk Greek Yogurt (5%)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped California walnuts
• 1/2 cup dried tropical fruit (raisins, banana chips, sweetened dried pineapple, sweetened dried papaya, dried coconut)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spread walnuts evenly on baking sheet and place in oven for 5-8 minutes. Check frequently to prevent burning. Remove from oven when nuts are lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
2. Line a 9 x 13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a small mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, honey and vanilla. Stir well to combine.
4, Use a spatula to spread yogurt mixture into a thin layer over the bottom of the 9 x 13 inch baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Add walnuts to the top of the yogurt, distributing evenly. Use the back of a fork to lightly press nuts into yogurt. Repeat with dried fruit.
6. Cover pan with aluminum foil and place in freezer overnight or until firm (at least 3 hours).
7. Cut or break into 8 pieces. (See notes for easier cutting.) Bark is ready to serve. To store for later, wrap individual pieces of bark in parchment paper and place in a freezer bag. Seal bag and return to freezer until ready to eat. Can be frozen for up to one month.
Notes
To make breaking bark easier, remove bark from freezer after 2 hours, and cut into 8 pieces with a knife or pizza cutter. Return to freezer for another hour or until firm. Bark should be easy to break or cut into pieces.
