Ingredients
  

2 cups cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

A pinch of salt

Optional: Dark chocolate chips or a white chocolate drizzle for added sweetness

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Base: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Incorporate the Yogurt: Gently fold in the plain Greek yogurt with a spatula, mixing until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is airy and light. Set this creamy base aside.

      Sweeten the Strawberries: In a separate bowl, toss the diced strawberries with a tablespoon of powdered sugar. This step will enhance the strawberries' natural sweetness and help them release their juices for a delicious burst of flavor.

        Spread the Cheesecake Mixture: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal later. Carefully pour the cream cheese and yogurt mixture onto the prepared tray, spreading it out into a uniform layer approximately 1/2 inch thick.

          Add Strawberries and Crumbs: Evenly distribute the sweetened strawberries across the cheesecake layer, ensuring every bite has a bit of fruit. Next, sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs generously over the top, creating an even coating for added texture and flavor.

            Optional Chocolate Toppings: For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle dark chocolate chips or drizzle melted white chocolate over the entire surface. This step is optional but adds a delightful element to the bark.

              Freeze Until Solid: Transfer the tray to the freezer and allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until it is entirely set and firm to the touch.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, carefully lift the parchment paper to remove the bark from the tray. Break it into pieces or cut it into squares, as desired. Serve immediately or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks to preserve freshness.
