There’s nothing quite like a refreshing, wholesome treat that’s both simple to prepare and delightful to eat and this Frozen Yogurt Bark is exactly that. Perfect for sunny summer afternoons, busy school weeks, or just when you’re craving a cool dessert that won’t weigh you down. Made with creamy vanilla yogurt, fresh sliced strawberries, and a crunchy layer of pistachios (or your favorite nuts or granola), this bark delivers satisfaction in every bite.
What makes this recipe a family favorite in my kitchen is how incredibly flexible it is. The base is thick, luscious vanilla yogurt I personally love using Greek yogurt for that rich and creamy texture. It spreads beautifully on the baking sheet and freezes into a firm, bark like consistency that snaps perfectly. If you like to tweak your sugar intake, you can make your own vanilla-flavored yogurt using plain Greek yogurt and sweetener of your choice. Alternatively, Icelandic-style yogurt is another great option for a similar thick and spreadable base.
The real fun starts when it’s time to add the toppings. For this version, I’ve chosen sweet, juicy sliced strawberries and the subtle crunch of pistachios, but honestly, the sky’s the limit here. Think blueberries, raspberries, banana slices, or even a swirl of almond butter for added flair. You could also try crushed granola, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chia seeds for a nutrient boost. This is a fantastic way to get kids involved in the kitchen let them personalize their section with the toppings they love most!
Preparation is as easy as it gets. Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour your yogurt on top and use a spatula to spread it evenly not too thin, or it’ll be fragile when frozen. Next, layer on your chosen toppings and then pop the entire tray into the freezer. In about three hours, your yogurt bark will be fully set and ready to be broken into chunks.
This yogurt bark can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months, making it a great make-ahead snack or dessert. Just remember to break it into pieces before storing it in an airtight container, so you can easily grab a piece whenever a craving strikes.
Tips & Tricks:
- Consistency matters: Thick yogurts like Greek or Icelandic yogurt give the best results when freezing. Avoid runny yogurts as they don’t set well.
