Flavor of Frozen Yogurt Cookie Dough Bark
Making this 4 ingredient protein cookie dough bark with yogurt instead of peanut butter or coconut oil gives the cookie dough bark a softer texture and a fresher lighter flavor. Depending on the sweetness of your yogurt, you might need to add more sweetener. I used plain cashew yogurt and it was creamy and sweet enough for me. It will have a tangy flavor if you use Greek yogurt - even zero fat - if you don't need it to be dairy free.
Ingredients
Almond flour. You can sub other flours such as oat flour or coconut flour, but you'll have to adjust for their varied amounts of absorbancy.
Yogurt. Use any yogurt - the higher the fat, the creamier your dough texture will be. You can use cashew yogurt, coconut yogurt or even Greek yogurt for my friends who can eat dairy. If you use a sweetened flavor, you may not need maple syrup so taste-test.
Maple syrup. Or any liquid sweetener.
Vanilla extract, baking soda + salt. For flavoring. I add the baking soda to give the dough an authentic cookie dough flavor but it is optional. Sometimes I also add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon.
Chocolate chips. To add to the dough, and to melt for a chocolate shell on top.
