Frozen Yogurt Bark with Berries – Frozen yogurt studded with gorgeous blue and red berries! A delicious, fun, and healthy dessert!
Hello, dear pals! Happy post-Mother’s Day to all the Momma’s! I hope you had a wonderful, joyful, relaxing day! Did it include diamonds and flowers? DO TELL!
My kids (7 and 4 years old) got me something super special… It was “breakfast-in-bed” at 2:30 in the afternoon. They literally made me get in bed under the covers to eat it, and my breakfast included a store-bought muffin PLUS a bottle of water. Precious little girls… A cup of coffee would have sealed the deal.
So with Mother’s Day behind us, but Memorial Day ahead of us, (4th of July, too) I thought it was time to finally bust out the red, white, and blue in the form of Frozen Yogurt Bark. No chocolate here…
HOW TO MAKE YOGURT BARK
I’ve been making yogurt bark for a loooong time and I love it thiiiis much. Every time I walk past the fridge, I open up the freezer, grab a square (more like 4 squares) and go. That’s my dessert, that’s my snack, that’s my mid-day satisfaction. Can’t maintain this opposite-of-Kardashian figure with chips and chocolates, know what I’m sayin’?
I also LOVE this similar Cheesecake Bark with Chocolate and Peanut Butter Swirl. YUM!
This is so straight forward, even a kid can do it.
- I’m gonna need you to first flavor the yogurt with a bit of agave (or honey, or maple syrup),
- drizzle in a bit of pure vanilla extract,
- and spread it out on a sheet pan.
- The only thing left to do is decorate it with a bunch of red and blue berries and freeze it. That.is.all.
- Optionally: sprinkle some nuts over it for garnish. I just think it looks prettier with nuts. And I don’t mind the crunch.
Sidenote: you know what Memorial Day also means, right? THEEE start of summer. THEEE start of bare skin and beaches. THEEE start of put-the-tub-of-ice-cream-away because we can’t hide under a coat no more.
Goodbye sugar and carbs – see you again in September!
(wishful thinking?)
P.S. Get on this yogurt bark as soon as you can – a healthy dessert awaits you!
ENJOY!

You break them up like peanut brittle, nothing even about that!
Do they need to stay frozen, meaning can I take these for a snack@ work??
Yes, they do need to stay frozen.
How big is each piece?
I’ve done this, and it tastes too icy, like it has freezer burn. Is there any way around this?
Hi!
You could put wax paper or plastic wrap on top of the yogurt mixture and just pat it down over the yogurt. That should help with avoiding those ice crystals. You can also freeze it and then break it up into pieces – do this as soon as it’s frozen – and put those pieces in a ziploc bag.
I’ve made this 4 times and when I eat it as a snack, I usually go back to the freezer 1 or 2 times. Hits the spot! I always add pecan chips for the added texture and a bit of protein.
How long after you take a piece from the freezer does it start to thaw out? I know it is an odd question but I was thinking if I wrapped a piece or two in a napkin and took them out the door, I could eat in the car- but would that be a horribly bad idea?
Hi!
Yeah, I do that. Just before I head out, I take a couple pieces in a napkin and eat in the car. 😊
I flavor 2 c yogurt w one pkg sugar free instant pudding or sugar free jello and made following combos: lime jello w coconut topping, chocolate pudding w crushed pretzels and peanut butter, orange jello w bananas, cheesecake pudding w crushed graham crackers, the possibilities are endless!
Sounds great! I am very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
Can you use whole Greek yogurt?
Hi!
Yep, that will work.
CAn you use frozen fruit?
I did, and it turned out well. I think it kind of evens out because you end up freezing everything anyways.
How many servings does this make?
If using vanilla flavored yogurt should I add in the honey, salt, and lemon juice still?
Hi!
Yes, I would just skip the vanilla extract, but use everything else.
Can you use greek yogurt for this recipe?
Yep, absolutely. 🙂
This was shockingly delicious! I made it as a Valentine’s Day treat for my husband who has sworn off desserts since the start of the year. Used sliced strawberries to make a heart (of course), then added blueberries, chopped pistachios, and 2 small squares of chopped dark chocolate. Really good!!!
How long do the keep for in the freezer?
Yes, this look really good to snack on. What size pan for snack? Is it a 13X9 glass dish? I was hoping I would see amounts of fruits to add. Also, I was directed to which shopping area to choose to find ingredients. I don’t care to do that. I would appreciate more information on the recipe. Thanks!
13×9 will definitely work, but for a thinner bark, I’d go with a jelly roll pan, which is 10.5 x 15.5.
Can u make it sugar free or lite maple syrup?
Hi!
Yes, you don’t have to use a sweetener. You can also see to use a fruit yogurt that is sugar free.
Would it be horrible tasting without any sweetener? I am on an eating plan with no sweetners of ANY kind except for the natural sugars in fruit. Thanks!
what was the pan size
I think some homemade granola would be great as a topping also.
This is fantabulous! So creative and delicious!
This is such a perfect little treat! And healthy!!
All I can say is WOW… this is a great idea. Loving it to the core. Will definitely try this. Thanks for sharing. Perfect and guild free snack to munch on. 🙂
Looks yummy. Can I use a flavored yogurt?
Hi!
Yep. That also works. 😊
Oh my! This looks dreamy! I could eat this all day!
Such a great idea! What a yummy treat!
So pretty! Such a great healthy snack!! Would be a fun dessert for the Fourth of July too!!
This is so gorgeous! Perfect summer treat.
I love that you took frozen yogurt flavors and turned it into a portable bark!
So easy and creative, I can’t wait to try this!
