How to Make It

Follow these steps to create your delicious Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark.

1. Combine ingredients

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, protein powder, lime zest, powdered swerve (or sweetener of choice), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

2. Prepare baking sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, even layer.

3. Add toppings

Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut, and additional lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer.

4. Freeze

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is fully frozen and set.

5. Break into pieces

Once frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Lift the parchment paper or silicone mat from the baking sheet and break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.

6. Serve and store

Enjoy immediately or store the bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to keep them in a single layer or separated by sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

How to Store It

Fridge: Up to 2-3 days in a sealed container.
Freezer: Yes, up to 2 weeks without losing texture.
Reheat: Not necessary; serve straight from the freezer.

• Ensure the yogurt is well-mixed for a consistent texture.
