This Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark is a cool, creamy, and tangy treat inspired by the classic dessert but made lighter and easier. With a refreshing key lime flavor, a creamy yogurt base, and a crunchy graham cracker topping, it’s a no-bake snack or dessert I can enjoy straight from the freezer. I love how it hits that sweet–tart balance and satisfies my cravings in a healthier way.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how simple and quick this bark is to throw together. It tastes like key lime pie, but I don’t need to bake anything or even turn on the stove. It’s high in protein, naturally sweetened, and perfect for summer (or any time I want a refreshing treat). Plus, it’s freezer-friendly, so I always have a stash ready when I need it.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
Honey or maple syrup
-
Key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
-
Key lime zest
-
Graham crackers, crushed
-
White chocolate chips or coconut flakes (optional for topping)
Directions
-
I line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, I mix the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup, key lime juice, and a bit of zest until smooth and well combined.
-
I spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared tray, about ½ inch thick.
-
I sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top, pressing them in lightly so they stick. I add white chocolate chips or coconut flakes if I want a little extra texture.
-
I freeze the bark for at least 3 hours, or until completely solid.
-
Once frozen, I break or cut it into pieces and store them in a freezer-safe container.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 8 to 10 bark pieces. It takes 5–10 minutes to prep and at least 3 hours to freeze, so I plan ahead if I want it ready for snacking.
Variations
Sometimes I swirl in a little cream cheese for a more authentic pie flavor. I’ve also added crushed pistachios, a drizzle of melted white chocolate, or thin lime slices for a pretty finish. For a dairy-free version, I use coconut yogurt and it still turns out creamy and tangy.
Storage/reheating
I store the bark in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. It’s best eaten straight from the freezer, as it melts quickly at room temperature. I don’t recommend reheating—it’s meant to stay frozen and refreshing.
FAQs
Can I use regular lime juice instead of key lime?
Yes, I often do. It’s still tart and citrusy—just slightly less floral than key lime. Either works great in this recipe.
Is this bark high in protein?
If I use Greek yogurt, especially plain or vanilla, it’s a great high-protein treat that also feels like dessert.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes, I use a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt and sweeten it to taste.
How thick should I spread the yogurt?
I go for about ½ inch thick—it freezes well and gives the right balance of creamy and crunchy when I bite into it.
Can kids help make this?
Absolutely. It’s a fun and easy recipe for kids to help with—mixing, spreading, and topping. No heat required.
Conclusion
Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark is a refreshing, no-fuss snack that brings the tangy sweetness of key lime pie into a freezer-friendly treat. I love how easy it is to make and how satisfying it is to eat. Whether I’m enjoying it after a workout, on a hot day, or as a light dessert, it always brings a burst of flavor and a smile.
