Frozen Yogurt Bark Delight

Frozen yogurt bark is the snack I whip up when my family is craving something sweet yet wholesome I love that it only takes a few minutes of prep and everyone gets excited to choose their favorite toppings before popping it in the freezer

The first time I made this my kids decorated the bark with patterns and shapes using berries and it turned snack time into a fun little project we loved

Ingredients

• Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt: the creamy base that holds everything together Choose full fat for the richest flavor and best texture
• Sweetener of choice: fine tune the sweetness to your liking Raw honey or pure maple syrup both work great opt for organic if possible
• Pure vanilla extract: optional but it enhances the flavor and makes the bark taste almost like frozen ice cream Always reach for real vanilla instead of imitation
• Strawberries or blueberries: add a pop of color and freshness Pick firm ripe berries for best results
• Chocolate chips or other favorite toppings: nuts seeds coconut flakes or dried fruit let every family member load up their own section

Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix the Base:

In a medium bowl whisk together the yogurt sweetener and vanilla extract until completely smooth making sure there are no streaks of unmixed yogurt or sweetener left

Spread onto Sheet:

Using a spatula spread the yogurt mixture evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet Aim for a thickness around one quarter inch so the bark freezes evenly and is easy to break apart later

Add Toppings:

Scatter your chosen toppings evenly across the yogurt taking care to press larger pieces lightly into the mixture so they stick once the bark is frozen

Freeze Solid:

Place the sheet flat in your freezer and freeze for at least four hours or until the yogurt is completely solid and will snap easily when broken

Break or Slice:

Remove the bark from the freezer and let it sit for a minute to soften slightly Use your hands to break into rustic pieces or a knife for more uniform bars

Greek yogurt is my favorite for this recipe because it gets super creamy when frozen and has a nice tang I remember making this with my niece and letting her choose kiwi and mini chocolate chips for her toppings Her excitement seeing her creation come out of the freezer was priceless

Storage Tips

Keep frozen yogurt bark in an airtight container in the freezer If left out at room temperature it melts quickly so only take out as many pieces as you need You can separate layers of bark with parchment to prevent sticking It lasts up to three weeks but good luck keeping it that long in a busy house

Ingredient Substitutions

Feel free to use any yogurt you like from dairy free coconut to regular plain If you do not have fresh berries reach for dried fruit or even a swirl of natural peanut butter Granola or chopped nuts add extra crunch and seeds like hemp or chia boost nutrition

Serving Suggestions

Serve pieces straight from the freezer as an after school snack or healthy dessert It is also a hit at brunches when arranged on a platter with some whole fruit on the side For parties cut into smaller squares and offer a variety of flavors and toppings in bowls so everyone can build their own

The Origins of Yogurt Bark

Frozen yogurt bark is a riff on the classic chocolate bark but with a fresh twist and lots of versatility It is become popular for its simplicity and for how well it adapts to different diets I like that you get the creamy tang of yogurt with the crunch and burst of flavor from fruit or chocolate
