After dinner when you just want a little bite of something sweet, a thin shard of Frozen Yogurt Bark is the perfect cool and creamy treat.
It also makes a super-cheerful after-school snack for kids, or a grab-and-go breakfast treat as the days warm up again. It’s really nice nestled into a bowl of overnight oats, mango chia pudding, or even warm crockpot baked oats.
Plus, isn’t it just ridiculously pretty?! This is one recipe that I shared on Instagram and people started making within the hour.
What is Frozen Yogurt Bark?
Frozen yogurt bark is a delicious frozen treat made by spreading a mixture of Greek-style yogurt, sweetener, and toppings onto a baking sheet, freezing it until solid, and then breaking it into pieces.
It’s a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream and makes for a perfect summer dessert or snack.
You can customize it with your favorite fruits, nuts, and even chocolate for added flavor and texture.
Gather Your Frozen Yogurt Bark Ingredients
I’m almost certain you already have these simple ingredients on hand!
- Greek yogurt: I like plain, full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamy bite, but you can use whatever you like. (If it’s sweetened already, omit the sugar.) Dairy-free yogurts will also work for a vegan version.
- Granulated sugar or honey/maple syrup: Just a bit for sweetness to balance the tartness of the fruit and yoghurt. You can swap in honey or maple syrup if that’s your style.
- Jam: Adds sweetness to the yogurt and creates a gorgeous visual effect throughout the bark. Use your favourite jam; I used 1/2 kiwi and 1/2 blueberry. The jam doesn’t freeze completely, making for a nice texture contrast in every bite (like a ripple through an ice cream).
- Fruit or other toppings: A sprinkle of chopped fruit like strawberries, kiwi, pineapples, raspberries or another berry (and/or other toppings like coconut flakes or chocolate chips).
You want tiny pieces and not too much, since large chunks of fresh fruit freeze rock hard. Small bits, about the size of wild blueberries, are perfect. I even halved the larger blueberries.
Grab these Tools
Get ready to bark up the right tree with this frozen yogurt recipe! Here are the tools you’ll need to make it happen:
- Parchment paper or wax paper
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Knife or skewer
- Rimmed baking sheet or sheet pan
How to Make Frozen Greek Yogurt Bark
- Stir sugar into yogurt.
- Spread yogurt mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Dollop yogurt with jam and use a toothpick to swirl it in.
- Scatter fruit on top and freeze 4 hours.
- Break into shards and enjoy!
How to Store it
Freeze frozen yogurt bark between layers of parchment paper in a plastic food storage container. It tends to stick together, so layering it with parchments makes it easy to grab a single piece.
Stored in a sealed container, it will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Delicious Variations
- Use a nutty or chocolatey swirl: (almond, pistachio or sunflower butters are great!) or melted white or dark chocolate in place of the jam swirl.
- Add toppings: with finely-chopped toasted nuts, granola, cacao nibs or finely-chopped chocolate, or seeds.
- Make a chunky monkey version: with peanut butter swirl, banana chips (or very thinly sliced banana), finely-chopped chocolate and finely-chopped peanuts.
- Vanilla yogurt: Use vanilla yogurt and omit the sugar (or just add a splash of vanilla extract to the plain yogurt recipe below).
FAQs
Frozen yogurt bark can be stored in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 3 months. However, for the best texture and flavor, it’s recommended to consume it within 1-2 weeks.
Frozen yogurt bark can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert. It’s best to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before breaking it into shards and serving. You can eat it as is, or you can crumble it over yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothie bowls. You can also experiment with adding different toppings such as nuts, granola, or chocolate chips for some extra crunch and flavor.
Frozen yogurt bark typically takes around four hours to freeze completely, but the freezing time may vary depending on the thickness of the mixture and the temperature of your freezer. It’s best to check the bark periodically and freeze it until it’s firm to the touch.
