Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Base
- 3 cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat) (or dairy-free for vegan)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (honey, or sugar-free syrup, adjust extra sweetness in 1 tbsp increments)
- Optional: 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
Toppings
- 3 tbsp chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup until smooth. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more syrup in 1 tablespoon increments.
- Spread and add toppings: Spread the yogurt mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a layer about 1/2 inch thick. Evenly sprinkle the chopped pecans and dark chocolate chips over the top of the yogurt layer.
- Freeze to set: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 2 to 4 hours or until the yogurt bark is completely firm. Once solid, break the bark into pieces or cut it with a knife.
- Storage: Store the yogurt bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to eat to maintain texture and freshness.
Notes
- You can use dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup.
- Adding protein powder is optional but boosts the protein content.
- Store leftovers in the freezer to prevent melting.
- For extra texture, consider adding seeds or other nuts.
