- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk/full fat recommended)
- ¾ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Flaked sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Mix the Base
- In a bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread on Pan
- Line a quarter sheet pan (or a similar-sized baking dish) with parchment paper.
- Spread the yogurt mixture evenly into the pan (about ¼ to ½ inch thick). An offset spatula helps make this easier.
- Melt Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Top with Chocolate
- Pour the melted chocolate over the yogurt mixture and spread evenly.
- Freeze
- Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely firm.
- Cut & Serve
- Once frozen, remove from the freezer, sprinkle with flaky sea salt (if using), and break into pieces or cut with a sharp knife.
- Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for the best creamy texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt – Low-fat yogurt can make the bark icy.
- Let it soften slightly before eating – This keeps it creamy instead of too hard.
- Store in the freezer – Take out only what you plan to eat to prevent melting.
