Print Recipe

A simple, creamy, and crunchy yogurt bark made by slow-cooking Greek yogurt in a crockpot, topped with pistachios and dried cranberries. Perfect for a healthy snack or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz (900 g) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) shelled, roughly chopped pistachios (roasted and unsalted)
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) dried cranberries
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 32 ounces (900 g) of full-fat Greek yogurt with 3 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir gently with a spatula until smooth and well mixed, avoiding over-stirring.
  2. Pour the yogurt mixture into your crockpot. Set it on the lowest temperature setting and cover with the lid. Cook gently for 3 to 4 hours until the yogurt thickens and becomes silky smooth. Check at 3 hours if your crockpot runs hot to prevent curdling.
  3. Remove the crockpot insert and let the yogurt cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
  4. Spread the chilled yogurt evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick. Sprinkle chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, and optional chia seeds or lemon zest evenly over the top. Press lightly so toppings stick during freezing.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for 4 to 6 hours until firm but still easy to break into pieces.
  6. Break the frozen yogurt bark into irregular pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best creaminess. If dairy-free, substitute coconut yogurt and replace honey with maple syrup. Toast pistachios lightly for extra flavor. Avoid high heat to prevent curdling. Chill yogurt thoroughly before freezing for best texture. Let bark sit at room temperature for 5 minutes if it sticks to parchment before breaking.
