# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like ice cream but feels like youre doing something responsible for your body.
  • You can throw in whatever berries or toppings you have without measuring twice.
  • Kids think its dessert, adults know its basically breakfast, and everyone wins.
  • It takes up almost no active time and you can make a huge batch to stash in the freezer.
02 -
  • If your yogurt is too thin or runny, it will never freeze into clean bark, it will just be icy mush. Stick with thick Greek yogurt or strain regular yogurt through cheesecloth first.
  • Dont skip the parchment paper or youll be chiseling frozen yogurt off your pan with a butter knife and regretting every life choice that led you there.
  • Let the bark sit out for a minute or two before breaking it if its rock-hard straight from the freezer, otherwise it shatters into dust instead of satisfying shards.
03 -
  • Use a mix of tart and sweet berries so every bite has a little tension and complexity, not just one-note sweetness.
  • If your granola has big clusters, break them up a bit before sprinkling so they distribute evenly and dont create hard spots.
  • Freeze the pan flat and level or your yogurt will slide to one side and youll end up with thick edges and a bare middle.
