Cabot Creamery Vanilla Bean Greek Yogurt

When I found out Cabot Creamery was one of the sponsors of #pumpkinweek. I knew I wanted to use their vanilla bean Greek yogurt.

Why? I really love vanilla bean flavoring. Also, I love the how creamy Cabot Creamery’s Greek yogurt is. At the time I was playing around with the thought of creating a pumpkin keto recipe with the Greek yogurt.

Yogurt Bark Recipe

I changed my mind about creating a pumpkin keto food recipe. Keto recipes are tricky, there many things NOT allowed on a true Keto diet. Actually, Pumpkin is a no-no on Keto, too high in sugar. So that quickly went out the window.

I saw on Pinterest a yogurt bark recipe. I always have made bark recipes with melted chocolate. This idea of yogurt bark was very intriguing to me.

Frozen Pumpkin Dessert

When you are in asea of pumpkin recipes, you want your pumpkin dessert to stand out. That was why I decided to just go for it and make a pumpkin bark recipe using a Greek yogurt as a base. Since this is a frozen pumpkin dessert, it is healthy enough to enjoy after an invigorating workout!

Pumpkin Maple Bark

How did the maple get involved in a pumpkin recipe? Want the truth? It was by accident. I was following the yogurt bark recipe from Epicurious and calls for honey. You guessed it I grab maple syrup by mistake.

Cranberry and Pecans

I went with it and turned pumpkin bark into pumpkin maple bark. I knew this bark recipe has a lot of sweet going on. So to balance the sweet, I decided to add dried cranberry and pecans to top this pumpkin recipe.

That part of the cranberry really balances the sweet of pumpkin and maple. The vanilla bean Greek yogurt really brings this bark recipe together, that you do not miss the chocolate!
