Even though we have cooler weather now, my mind is on summer. I love hot days, warm nights, flowers in bloom, driving with my top open, and singing with my favorite songs like a rock star!
That’s how I imagine it, anyway. Honestly, hot days with gnats are just no fun! Nevertheless, we are headed into summer and will have some hot days here in the South.
I watched a video of Jennifer Garner’s pretend cooking show a while back. She was making frozen yogurt bark. But, of course, it was too cold even to pretend I wanted anything frozen then. However, the recent spring break made me think of summer snacks for the kids. Even though my grandson’s parents will be out of school also, I am sure he will be around our house some too. So this frozen yogurt bark would be the perfect snack on a hot summer day, and it’s so easy!
Start with whole milk vanilla yogurt. The texture of full-fat yogurt is less likely to get icy, and it will taste better frozen. Use fresh fruit, but chop it into bite-sized pieces to make it easier to eat. Also, chopped nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, and granola make great toppings. You need to allow about 3 hours for it to freeze fully. Then cut or break into serving pieces and store in an airtight container for a few months.
