You can make this bark with all different yogurt flavors, fruits, nuts, chocolate chips or other toppings, but I wanted to go with a red and green theme for the holidays. I love the sweet and lightly salty mix of pomegranates, vanilla yogurt and roasted pistachio nuts! Not only does this bark make a great snack but it’s also perfect for dessert or even breakfast (it’s yogurt!).
This frozen yogurt bark would also be a fun, healthy and tasty project to make with kids. You could let them pick their own toppings and I’m sure they’d have a blast. The only hard part is waiting until it’s done freezing! Just make sure to serve the bark right out of the freezer because if it sits out too long the yogurt will start to melt back to room temperature.

Yield: 4(4.5 oz) servings
Ingredients
3(5.3 oz) containers nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, (I used Dannon Light & Fit Greek)
1/3cuppomegranate arils, the juicy pockets with the seeds inside
2tablespoonsshelled pistachio nuts, mine were roasted and salted
Instructions
Line a 7x11 or 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper (I creased my paper along the bottom edges of the dish to help it stay put). Empty the yogurt containers into the dish and use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the pomegranate arils across the surface of the yogurt and then press them in a bit so that they’re not just resting loosely on top.
Put the shelled pistachios into a Ziploc bag and crush them up using a meat mallet or other heavy object. Sprinkle the crushed pistachio nuts over top of the yogurt and pomegranate seeds. Place the entire baking dish into the freezer and freeze for at least 5-6 hours (check to see if your yogurt is frozen solid before removing from the freezer).
Lift the parchment paper with the slab of frozen yogurt out of the baking dish and place on a flat surface. Break the slab of yogurt into pieces (“bark”) and serve immediately. Leftovers should be wrapped (I layered mine with parchment paper in a Tupperware) and returned to the freezer. My finished product weighed about 18 oz, so each serving was 4.5 ounces.
