How to make Blueberry Yogurt Bark with Beef “Granola”
Dehydrate the beef.
Cook the ground beef in your cooking pan on the stovetop until done. Don’t add any fat while cooking.
Once the ground beef is cooked, drain out all of the fat.
Transfer the cooked ground beef to a plate. Pat the beef dry with a towel to soak up as much of the remaining fat as you can.
Transfer the ground beef on top of a piece of parchment paper on your baking sheet. Spread the pieces out in as thin of a layer as possible to promote even baking.
Dehydrate the ground beef in the oven at 200 degrees for 3-4 hours. You may have to rotate the pieces while cooking. I usually swirl everything around with a fork every 30 minutes or so or when I remember. The pieces should be hard and crunchy when done. I typically keep an eye on mine at about the 2-hour mark. Mine was done right around 3 hours.
Make the yogurt base.
In your blender, blend the raw milk (ASHLEY20 for 20% off) and frozen blueberries until smooth.
Note: any frozen fruit will work in place of the frozen blueberries.
Add the blueberry-raw milk mixture to your mixing bowl along with the yogurt and raw honey (ASHLEYR for 10% off).
Note: Use more or less raw honey than the suggested amount if you prefer your bark sweeter or not as sweet. You can taste the mixture after adding the honey and before adding the toppings. I added 1 tbsp to mine and it wasn’t sweet at all. If you’re someone who likes the bitter taste of yogurt, I’d start with 1-2 tbsp. If you like your yogurt on the sweeter side, start with 3 tbsp and go from there.
Mix until smooth.
Spread the yogurt base onto your baking sheet and add the toppings.
Place a new piece of parchment paper onto your baking sheet.
Note: make sure the baking sheet is 100% cooled before you do this.
Pour the yogurt base onto the parchment paper on your baking sheet and spread it around to form an even layer.
Top with the beef “granola,” fresh blueberries, chopped bananas, and/or whatever fresh fruit you prefer.
Freeze, break apart, and serve.
Place the yogurt bark in your freezer and freeze for 2+ hours.
Once it’s frozen, break it apart into pieces and serve.
Note: I recommend letting the bark defrost on the counter for a few minutes before eating.
This yogurt bark must be stored in the freezer. Enjoy!
