Lightly sweetened velvety Greek yogurt is studded with a crunchy topping reminiscent of trail mix and then frozen so you can break it into chunks just like chocolate bark (but healthier!). Crisp, creamy, and barely sweet, this colourful and whimsical snack (or healthy dessert) is perfect for kids and adults alike and sure to become a summer staple. For the creamiest bark possible, with fewer ice crystals, avoid using fat-free yogurt.
Acting as a blank canvas, this yogurt bark can take on any flavour profiles you fancy. Choose to use whatever nuts and dried fruit you please. Sun-splashed fresh berries also work as a topping, and you can swap out the honey for maple syrup.
Per serving:
In large bowl, stir together yogurt, honey, vanilla, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Spread out yogurt mixture into 12 x 6 in (30 x 15 cm) rectangle about 1/2 in (1.25 cm) thick. Sprinkle on dried cherries, almonds, coconut flakes, and chocolate chips and press down gently to help them adhere.
Place sheet in freezer until frozen solid, about 3 hours. Break bark into desired-sized pieces and store in airtight container in freezer.

Swap your spirits Try substituting vermouth for white wine in this recipe, if you have some on hand. It’s a great alternative to wine and will last much longer in your cupboard. An added perk? You can save that nice wine for sipping.

Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why.

Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
