End of summer still-hot frozen treat cravings meets nostalgic back-to-school lunchbox brownie inspiration in a uniquely decadent but still healthy and high-protein spin on yogurt bark: Cosmic Brownie Chocolate Yogurt Bark. We’re swapping the baked brownie base for a creamy no-bake 3 ingredient frozen yogurt layer, but topping it off with the same chocolate ganache and rainbow candy coated chocolate chip sprinkles as Little Debbie (but make it vegan!) This fun colorful chocolate treat is the perfect thing to have stashed in your freezer for after school snack time or any time you need a sweet healthier treat.

How To Make Dairy-Free Chocolate Yogurt Bark

If you aren’t familiar with yogurt bark, it’s a snack made by spreading a thin layer of greek yogurt on a pan, topping it with fruit, nuts, granola, chocolate chips, etc, freezing it, and then breaking apart into pieces for snacking. Sometimes the yogurt is flavored or sweetened, the topping variations are endless, and it’s a delicious simple healthy no-bake snack for kids or adults. Where we are doing things a little differently with this recipe is…

• making it dairy-free with coconut yogurt
• adding extra protein with protein powder since coconut yogurt isn’t naturally as high in protein as greek yogurt
• flavoring the yogurt with Chocolate SunButter (which makes for a creamier texture too!)
• adding a delicious cosmic brownie twist with the toppings!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This healthier finger-food snack is so easy to make, you just need 6 ingredients and 15 minutes, then the freezer does the rest. It’s perfect to meal prep ahead and have on hand for a sweet treat all week, plus you can customize the toppings and never get bored. It’s a healthier alternative to store-bought snacks, plus you can adjust the sweetness level to your liking and use whatever protein works best for you (plant-based or not!). Plus it’s kid-friendly and adult approved.

Ingredients You Will Need

• Dairy-free yogurt. Most yogurt bark recipes start with vanilla greek yogurt for thickness and sweetness, but to keep this recipe dairy-free we are using coconut yogurt instead. I opted for an unsweetened plain variety since the protein powder and Chocolate SunButter both add some sweetness to the yogurt layer.
• Chocolate SunButter. The ingredient that makes this chocolate yogurt bark yummier than most, the sweet delicious flavor and creaminess create a more decadent texture and taste that truly feels like dessert.
• Protein powder. You have lots of options here—vanilla or chocolate, plant based or not, sweetened or unsweetened—all will work. Use whatever you have and whatever you love, I used a plant-based chocolate blend.
• Dairy-free chocolate chips. One of the two ingredients required to make the vegan ganache topping, I like a semi-sweet variety.
• Coconut milk. Ingredient number two in this super simple dairy-free ganache, I recommend full-fat canned coconut milk.
• Candy coated chocolate chips. The nostalgic cosmic brownie classic topping, I like THIS vegan and naturally colored variety.

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Make the chocolate yogurt base. Smply whisk together the coconut yogurt, Chocolate SunButter, and protein powder until smooth and thick and creamy almost like a batter consistency.
2. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Make sure you line the baking sheet with parchment paper first so you can easily lift it out later. An offset spatula works great for even spreading, and don’t be afraid to go all the way to the edges of the pan.
3. Prepare the vegan chocolate ganache. Heat the coconut milk, pour over the chocolate chips, let it stand for three minutes covered with foil to trap the heat and melt the chips. Then whisk until smooth.
4. Spread the ganache on top of the yogurt. The trickiest step, but if you freeze the yogurt layer while you prepare the ganache it will make this step easier.
5. Add the cosmic brownie sprinkles. The most fun rainbow step!
6. Freeze overnight and break into pieces. Or at least 8 hours, and then you can cut or break into snack-size pieces.

Freezing and Serving Suggestions

You do need to store this no-bake healthy dessert in the freezer, otherwise it will become too soft to stay a solid bark. I recommend an air-tight container or silicone storage bag to prevent freezer burn, if it’s sealed up well it can easily last a few weeks. Straight from the freezer it will be quite hard to bite, so I recommend removing from the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving so it’s just slightly soft. Depending on how big your pieces are, you will get 12-15 servings per batch.
