Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Base
- 1 1/2 cups yogurt (Greek or regular, plain or vanilla works best)
Flavor & Decoration
- Food dye (red, blue, pink, or preferred colors)
- 2 tbsp sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removing the bark easier.
- Divide Yogurt: Spoon the yogurt evenly into three separate bowls to create different colors.
- Color the Yogurt: In the first bowl, add 4-6 drops of red or pink food dye and stir until the color is fully mixed. In the second bowl, add 4 drops each of red and blue food dye to create a purple hue, stirring well. Leave the third bowl uncolored or use another color if desired.
- Assemble the Bark: Drop spoonfuls of the different colored yogurts into the lined baking dish randomly. Use a spoon to gently swirl the colors together lightly, then smooth the surface. Avoid over-mixing to preserve the individual colors.
- Add Sprinkles: Evenly sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of sprinkles over the swirled yogurt for a festive look and extra crunch.
- Freeze: Place the baking dish in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt is completely frozen.
- Serve: Remove the frozen yogurt bark from the baking dish by lifting the parchment paper, then break it into hand-sized chunks. Serve immediately and enjoy your colorful frozen treat.
Notes
- You can use Greek yogurt for a thicker texture or regular yogurt for creaminess; flavored yogurts will add extra sweetness.
- If you prefer dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt alternatives.
- Food coloring can be swapped to any preferred colors to customize your unicorn bark.
- For best texture, avoid over-swelling the yogurt when swirling colors to keep the marbled effect.
- This treat is perfect for hot days or as a healthy snack alternative to ice cream.
