Frozen Grape & Yogurt Bark

For 4 servings
Line a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract, if using. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread it evenly into a thin layer, about ¼ to ½ inch (0.6 to 1.2 cm) thick.
Arrange the halved red grapes evenly over the yogurt layer, pressing them gently into the yogurt. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the grapes.
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until the yogurt is completely firm and solid.
Once frozen, lift the parchment paper with the bark from the baking sheet. Carefully break the bark into irregular pieces of desired size.
Serve immediately. Store any leftover bark pieces in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Ensure the yogurt is spread evenly to an consistent thickness; this prevents some parts from melting faster than others when served.
- 2Leave a slight overhang of parchment paper on the sides of the baking sheet; this makes it much easier to lift the frozen bark out once solid.
- 3If the bark is too hard to break right out of the freezer, let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before attempting to break it.
- 4Feel free to experiment with other fruits like berries, sliced kiwi, or mango, and different nuts or seeds for varied flavors and textures.

Frequently asked questions
While you can, Greek yogurt is highly recommended due to its thicker consistency and higher protein content, which results in a firmer, more satisfying bark. Regular yogurt might be too watery and create an icy texture.
