Is yoghurt bark a healthy dessert?

Compared with ice cream, it has much more protein and less fat. It still contains some sugar from honey and chocolate, so treat it as a dessert or snack rather than a recovery meal.

+Why does my bark melt so quickly?
Yoghurt bark softens within a few minutes at room temperature. Serve it straight from the freezer. Use yogurt with a higher fat value will give you more time to enjoy it.
+Can I use other fruit?
Chopped strawberries, mango or cherries all work; pat wet fruit dry so it does not form ice crystals.
