Valentine’s Day Greek Yogurt Bark Done 3 Ways!

Greek yogurt bark is hands down the EASIEST treat you could ask for, and this Valentine’s Day Greek yogurt bark is no exception!

Each of these recipes has only 3-4 ingredients and only requires five minutes of hands-on time. Plus, Greek yogurt bark is a great source of protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients.

Greek yogurt is a form of strained yogurt that has been processed to remove most of the whey protein, resulting in a thicker and more creamy consistency than regular yogurt.

For the Greek yogurt bark, I recommend using a Greek yogurt with a higher fat percentage. While making these barks, I made two of them with 2% MF and one (the cinnamon heart bark) with 11% MF and the higher fat bark was undeniably more decadent and dessert-like. Plus the texture was much better and the bark didn’t crystallize as much, making it melt in your mouth. I am in favour of making a dessert more energy-dense if it also makes it 10x more delicious, and in this case, it certainly does!

For a fun Valentine’s day treat, I’ve created three different flavours of Valentine’s day Greek yogurt bark for you to try: raspberry white chocolate, strawberry smarties, and vanilla cinnamon hearts!

This is the blender that I use.

Notes

I highly recommend using a higher fat Greek yogurt for this recipe. It will maintain its creamy texture and will not crystallize as much. I used 11% M.F for the cinnamon heart bark and it was by far the tastiest of the three!
