Ingredients You’ll Need
- Plain Nonfat Yogurt (or flavored yogurt if preferred): Offers a creamy, tangy taste that freezes wonderfully for a cool goodie.
- Agave: Adds a touch of sweetness to the yogurt. You can also use honey, monk fruit, or any other sweetener you prefer.
- Vanilla Extract: Infuses the frozen yogurt bark with a warm flavor that complements the berries. This is especially useful if you are using plain, non-flavored yogurt.
- Fresh Lemon Juice: Gives a hint of zestiness, brightening up the flavors and adding a refreshing note. Lime juice also works but adds a different taste.
- Salt: Just a pinch to enhance and balance all the other flavors, making the sweetness and tartness pop.
- Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries: Berries add juicy bursts of flavor and natural sweetness, plus they make the bark look colorful and inviting!
- Pecans & Granola: If you want some crunch and nuttiness, sprinkle some nuts or chocolate granola over the top before freezing.
How to Make Yogurt Bark
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Lay a sheet of wax paper over a baking sheet and set it aside.
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, agave, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Spread the Yogurt Mixture: Transfer the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and smooth it out evenly.
- Add the Berries: Scatter strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries evenly over the yogurt layer.
- Add Nuts and/or Granola: Sprinkle chopped pecans or granola over the top to add a crunchy texture.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it sit for 2 to 3 hours or until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Use a knife or your hands to cut the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.
Recipe Tips & Variations
- Yogurt Options: Feel free to experiment with flavored yogurts and different types of yogurt. You could even try making it with my banana frozen yogurt.
- Sweeteners: If agave isn’t your thing, substitute with honey, maple syrup, or any sweetener you choose. Adjust the quantity according to taste.
- Berry Varieties: Don’t limit yourself to the listed berries; feel free to mix in other fruits.
- Texture: For an even consistency, ensure the yogurt mixture is smoothed out evenly on the baking sheet to avoid thin or thick spots.
- Serving: Use a pizza cutter for easy and quick cutting of the bark into pieces. It works like a charm.
- Storage Hack: Store the bark pieces between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container to keep them from sticking together in the freezer.
Serving Suggestions
- Break It Into Pieces: Use your hands or a knife to break the yogurt bark into desired size pieces. For a cleaner cut, use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or rectangles.
- Serving Style: Lay the bark pieces out on a serving tray but not overlapping to prevent them from sticking together.
- Garnish: If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of extra toppings or a drizzle of honey or chocolate to elevate the visual appeal and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Since yogurt bark melts fairly quickly at room temperature, serve it immediately. Use it as a refreshing appetizer or a cool snack on a warm day.
Storage
- Keep any leftover bark pieces in the freezer to maintain their texture and freshness.

This is a good little ‘guiltless’ treat. A bit messy to eat, since it melts in your hand and the goodies fall off. But very tasty. Glad we tried this recipe.
Want to make this for a primary school event but it contains honey. Not alot is used so would it be ok to use it with young children? It looks delicious. Also is natural Greek yoghurt ok to use?
Yes, that works very well. And you can use any sweetener you prefer. I’ve tried it with agave, low-carb sweetener drops, powdered sugar, and more. It’s totally up to you!
Thank you for this wonderful snack idea! Will whole fat yoghurt freeze just as well?
