Ingredients

Cookie Crust:

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1 tbsp coconut sugar

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• 1½ tsp baking powder

• 4 tbsp butter, melted

• 4 tbsp plain Greek yogurt

• Pinch of salt

Toppings:

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

• Fresh blueberries (for the flag corner)

• Fresh strawberries, sliced lengthwise (for red stripes)

• Unsweetened shredded coconut (for white stripes)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare Crust:
   Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut sugar, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter and Greek yogurt, stirring until a dough forms.

2. Bake the Crust:
   Press the dough evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (about ½-inch thick). Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely before topping.

3. Add the Yogurt Layer:
   Once the crust has cooled, spread a generous layer of plain Greek yogurt across the surface.

4. Design the Flag:

   • In the top-left corner, arrange fresh blueberries in a small square.

   • Lay the sliced strawberries in rows across the remaining yogurt to form red stripes.

   • Fill the spaces between the strawberries with shredded coconut to create white stripes.

5. Freeze & Slice:
   Place the whole tray in the freezer for 1–2 hours until fully set. Once frozen, slice into bark pieces and enjoy!

Tips & Variations
