Christmas Inspired Yoghurt Bark
Gluten free, dairy free option, egg free, nut free - depending on choice of toppings
Makes 6-8 shapes
Ingredients:
1 cup yoghurt of choice (Greek, coconut, or any thick yoghurt works well)
Toppings of choice — I used:
Goji berries
Frozen mixed berries
Crushed pepitas
Desiccated coconut
Christmas-themed cookie cutters
Paddle pop sticks
Instructions:
Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Place your Christmas cookie cutters onto the tray.
Slide a paddle pop stick under each cookie cutter so it sits in the centre.
Spoon yoghurt into each cutter, using the back of a spoon or your finger to spread it out and fill the shape evenly.
Sprinkle over your chosen toppings.
Leave the cookie cutters in place and transfer the tray to the freezer.
Freeze until completely set.
Remove from the freezer and allow to soften for 1–2 minutes.
Gently push the yoghurt shapes out of the cookie cutters.
Serve immediately or store in the freezer until needed.
Notes:
Use a thick yoghurt so the shapes hold their form well.
Swap the toppings for whatever you have on hand — freeze-dried berries, chopped nuts, seeds, or dairy-free chocolate all work well.
If you don’t have cookie cutters, you can spread the yoghurt into one large slab, add toppings, freeze, and then break into pieces.
