Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it’s large enough to hold your yogurt mixture evenly spread out.

Add Your Berries: Gently fold in fresh berries into the yogurt mixture; feel free to get creative with arrangements—think edible art!
Spread It Out: Pour the berry-studded yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; spread it evenly while trying not to lick your fingers (too much).

Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until fully set; resist checking every 30 minutes because good things take time!
Once frozen solid, slice your frozen yogurt bark into pieces and serve immediately. Watch as everyone digs in and enjoys this refreshing treat that’s sure to brighten any day!
