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…
What is Frozen Yogurt Bark
Basically, it’s your favorite chocolate bark, but instead of melted chocolate, we’re using yogurt! It’s way healthier, it’s refreshing, and it is really, really delicious! I promise.
I’ve been making frozen 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!
How to Make Frozen Yogurt Bark
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!

Kinda disappointed. The flavor of the yogurt and berries is definitely super delicious but the dessert is too cold to eat. Yes I know its a frozen dish but it is like biting into ice cream – only colder somehow? It really hurts my teeth to eat and little water crystals formed on top of the yogurt bark even though I only froze it for 2 hours. The little crystals give it a weird crunch and watered down taste I don’t enjoy. I really think this could be great but it’s too cold.
Aleah, I feel the same exact way. Made this yesterday and it’s just too cold to bite. Gives me brain freeze and hurts my teeth, lol. I’m thinking I might let it thaw just a tiny bit and try that. It tastes good, just can’t handle the cold.
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! 🙂
