# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes of actual work, then the freezer does the rest while you read or watch something.
  • The contrast between cold, creamy yogurt and snappy chocolate is honestly addictive.
  • You can throw almost any topping you have at it and it somehow works—no recipe police going to show up.
02 -
  • Don't skip the freezing time even if you're tempted—the bark won't have that satisfying snap without it, and the yogurt will just taste mushy.
  • If your chocolate seizes up and gets grainy when it hits the cold yogurt, it means it got too hot or water got into it somehow—next time, lower the heat and add that coconut oil, which acts like insurance.
03 -
  • Tempered chocolate looks prettier and has a better snap, but honestly, melted and cooled chocolate tastes just fine and is way less fussy—don't overthink it.
  • The secret to this working every single time is using full-fat yogurt and not getting impatient with the freeze time—those two things matter more than anything else.
