Servings: 12 pieces
Ingredients
- 1.25 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- ⅓ cup strawberries sliced, about 5 strawberries
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla extract and honey and mix thoroughly until combined.
- Transfer the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread and smooth it out until it reaches an even thickness.
- Add dollops of the jam on top of the yogurt mixtures and swirl it around using a toothpick.
- Top with strawberries, graham cracker crumbs and a white chocolate drizzle.
- Freeze for 3-4 hours or until firm. I typically leave it overnight.
- Once firm, break the bark into pieces and store in a container in the freezer.
Notes
If you are having trouble mixing the cream cheese- I recommend heating it in a microwave safe dish in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This will help soften it to make it easier to mix- Another option is using whipped cream cheese!
