What Kind of Yogurt Works Best for Unicorn Bark?

Greek yogurt is the go-to for this recipe. Its thicker texture makes it perfect for spreading into bark and holds color beautifully. Opt for plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, and sweeten it to taste. Plant-based yogurts like coconut or almond can also work well for a dairy-free version.

Ingredients for the Magical Yogurt Unicorn Bark

• 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• Natural food coloring (pink, purple, blue, etc.)
• 1/2 cup mixed berries (sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
• 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter
• 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)

How To Make the Magical Yogurt Unicorn Bark

Step 1: Sweeten the Yogurt

In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.

Step 2: Divide and Color

Separate the yogurt into 3-4 small bowls. Add different food coloring to each bowl and stir until you reach your desired pastel shades.

Step 3: Swirl and Spread

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of each color yogurt onto the sheet and use a knife or toothpick to swirl them into a magical, tie-dye pattern.

Step 4: Top with Goodies

Sprinkle berries, chia seeds, coconut, and rainbow sprinkles over the swirled yogurt. Be generous—this is where the magic happens.

Step 5: Freeze

Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours or until completely firm.

Step 6: Break and Serve

Once frozen, break the bark into pieces and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in a freezer-safe container.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but regular yogurt is thinner and may not hold the shape or toppings as well when frozen. Greek yogurt creates a better texture for bark.

What food coloring is best?

Natural food colorings made from fruit and vegetable powders or plant-based dyes are great if you’re avoiding artificial dyes.

Can I add granola or nuts?

Absolutely! For a crunchier version, sprinkle some granola or chopped nuts on top before freezing.

How long does unicorn bark last?

When stored in the freezer, it keeps well for about 2 weeks. Just be sure it’s in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

Can I use flavored yogurt?

Yes, just reduce or skip the added honey or syrup, as flavored yogurts are already sweetened.
