Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

TRANSFERRED TO BAKING SHEET
Next, pour the Greek yogurt mixture over the parchment paper, spread it evenly over the baking sheet until it’s about ¼ inch thick.

tips
Don’t forget to line your baking sheet with parchment paper. You can use wax paper or aluminum foil when you’re on the go. This way you can easily remove the rind from the shell after freezing.
If you want a creamier frozen yogurt crust, use a full-fat yogurt instead of the 5% fat we used in this recipe. Alternatively, non-fat yogurt may cause the rind to taste too icy.
Make sure you cut your fruit into smaller pieces if needed. If they’re too bulky, the rind won’t flatten out as much, making them difficult to eat.
