Key Lime Pie Bark
This Key lime pie bark is sublime. Studded with lime zest and crushed graham crackers, this frozen treat is making its way into the limelight!
Ingredients
- 32 ounces 2% vanilla Greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons key lime juice, or regular lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 4 to 5 graham cracker sheets
Instructions
- Line a (~18 x 13) baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yogurt lime juice, and zest until smooth.
- Pour mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, smooth the mixture so it’s evenly distributed on the sheet. Sprinkle the graham cracker over the top and gently pat with fingers to set toppings. Add some extra lime zest if desired.
- Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours to set. Remove the baking sheet, break it up into pieces, and transfer to a freezer bag to store (this is a more efficient way to store since the baking sheet takes up so much space). Enjoy each piece straight from the freezer, as the yogurt starts to melt pretty fast.
Notes
The yogurt
• Be sure to scrape all the yogurt from the 32-ounce container to spread on your baking sheet – you’ll need it for a nice thick layer. • I like to use 2% reduced-fat, vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt. While a nonfat (0%) Greek yogurt will also work, I find the nonfat varieties become icier and less creamy. • I prefer to buy brands without added sugar, like vanilla-flavored Oikos Triple Zero and Too Good, which are each sweetened with stevia. However, you can also buy plain 2% Greek yogurt and sweeten it up yourself by adding a sugar substitute of choice, or ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup. • If you prefer the sour taste of plain Greek yogurt, there’s no need to buy a flavored brand—stick with the plain. Freezing and storage
• Place in the freezer for at least 3 hours to set. Remove the baking sheet, break it up into pieces, and transfer to a freezer bag to store (this is a more efficient way to store since the baking sheet takes up so much space). Enjoy each piece straight from the freezer—as the yogurt starts to melt pretty fast! If you’re feeding a crowd, place the pieces on a platter at the very last minute and serve when everyone is ready to dig in. Baking sheet prep
• Here, I use a standard half-sheet (18-by-13 inches) but if you only have a quarter-sheet (13-by-9 inches), simply half the recipe. • Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper so the yogurt doesn’t stick, and you can easily remove the frozen bark.
