High-Protein Frozen Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Bark Recipe

I came across a version of this frozen Greek yogurt cheesecake bark a while back, and it caught my eye mostly because it had all the things I already like when it comes to a quick desserts. 

Long story short, I tried making my own recipe for this Greek yogurt cheescake, something a little creamier and higher in protein, and it turned into one of those recipes I am really proud of.

It has the feel of a lighter Greek yogurt cheesecake, only frozen, and it comes together without much thought, which is probably why I keep coming back to it.

High-Protein Frozen Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Bark Ingredients

For this Greek yogurt cheesecake recipe, I use a cup of Greek yogurt and about four ounces of softened cream cheese because the mix gives that familiar creamy base without turning heavy. 

I usually add around one or two ful scoops of vanilla whey protein powder to bring in the extra protein. A quarter cup of berry compote or jam gives the swirl, so I think this one is essential if you want to make tasty Greek yogurt cheesecake.

Sometimes I like mixing in two tablespoons of white chocolate chips, a spoon of cacao nibs, or whatever crunchy bits I have around, whether that is chopped nuts, granola clusters, dried fruit, or seeds.

How to Make a High-Protein Frozen Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Bark

First things first, I start this recipe by blending the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, protein powder, and turmeric until everything becomes completely smooth. 

Then I pour it into a parchment-lined dish and drop spoonfuls of berry compote across the surface. When I run a toothpick or knife through the mix, the colors pull together into soft swirls that make the bark look more put-together than the effort it actually takes.

At that point, I scatter whatever mix-ins I feel like using, sometimes white chocolate chips for sweetness, sometimes cacao nibs if I want something sharper. After all that, I jus put this tray in a freezer for at least a few hours.

Letting it sit for a couple of minutes makes cutting easier since this version behaves more like frozen cheesecake squares than the brittle yogurt bark people are used to.
