How to Make It

Here’s how to whip up your Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark in just a few steps.

1. Combine ingredients

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

2. Spread mixture

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, lift the parchment paper or silicone mat from the baking sheet and break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.

6. Store or enjoy

Enjoy immediately or store the bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Store the bark in a single layer or between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

How to Store It
