May 06, 2023, Updated May 18, 2024 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.
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:
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.

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.
