    Ingredients

    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)
    1. Line a 30cm x 20cm tray with baking paper. In a bowl, combine yoghurt, vanilla and chia seeds and mix well. Stir in desiccated coconut. Spread yoghurt mixture evenly over prepared tray.
    2. In a small bowl, microwave jam or fruit spread on high for 20 seconds, or until just runny. Pour jam into a plastic piping bag (or zip-lock bag), snip the corner or tip off the bag and pipe jam in swirls or rows over yoghurt.
    3. Use a skewer or knife blade and lightly drag it through the yoghurt and jam to create a swirl effect. Tap the tray gently on the benchtop a couple of times to flatten the yoghurt mixture. Scatter with pistachios, cranberries and petals, if using. Freeze overnight.
    4. Break or cut the yoghurt bark into pieces and serve immediately.

    Variations

    Use fruit purée in place of jam if you prefer.

    Make it vegan: Use a vegan yoghurt and check jam (or purée, if using) has no gelatin.

    HFG tip

    Dried culinary rose petals are available from specialty grocers

    Place yoghurt bark on a cold or frozen serving platter set over a bowl of ice to stop it melting.
