Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Yogurt Bark is a delightful, simple, and nutritious treat that combines the creaminess of Greek yogurt with the natural sweetness of honey and fresh fruits. The yogurt serves as the perfect base for a crunchy topping of sliced almonds (or sunflower seeds for a nut-free alternative) and a burst of fresh berries. It’s refreshing, customizable, and easy to make, making it an excellent snack, dessert, or even a healthy frozen treat for hot summer days.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Greek yogurt (or regular plain yogurt)
• 1/4 cup Honey (or 1/3 cup of my natural sugar-free honey)
• 3/4 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Strawberries (sliced; measured after slicing)
• 1 cup Blueberries
• 1/4 cup Almonds (sliced or slivered; or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet or shallow dish with parchment paper for easy removal of the yogurt bark later.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
3. Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
4. Sprinkle the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and sliced almonds (or sunflower seeds) evenly over the yogurt.
5. Freeze the yogurt bark for at least 3–4 hours, or until it is firm and completely set.
6. Once frozen, break the yogurt bark into pieces and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 6-8 servings. Prep time is around 10 minutes, but freezing time is an additional 3–4 hours, so plan accordingly. The yogurt bark is best enjoyed straight from the freezer.

Variations

• Fruit Toppings: Feel free to swap the strawberries and blueberries for other fruits like raspberries, blackberries, or kiwi for a different flavor.
• Nut-Free: Replace almonds with sunflower seeds or other seeds for a nut-free version of the recipe.
• Sweetener: If you prefer a sugar-free option, use a natural sugar-free honey or sweetener like stevia or erythritol.
• Chocolate Drizzle: For an extra indulgent twist, drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the top of the yogurt bark before freezing.

Storage/Reheating

Store the yogurt bark in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 1-2 weeks. It’s important to keep it frozen, as it will soften quickly at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, you can use regular plain yogurt, but Greek yogurt will give the bark a thicker, creamier texture.

Can I make this yogurt bark ahead of time?

Yes, this recipe is perfect for meal prep! Make it ahead of time and store it in the freezer for a quick and healthy treat whenever you need it.

How do I prevent the yogurt bark from being too hard?

If you want a slightly softer texture, reduce the freezing time by 30 minutes to an hour. The bark will still be firm but not as hard as when it’s frozen for a longer period.

Can I use a different sweetener besides honey?

Yes, you can substitute honey with maple syrup, agave, or a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or monk fruit. Adjust the amount according to your sweetness preference.

Can I use other types of nuts?

Yes, you can use any nuts you like. Try pistachios, walnuts, or pecans for a different crunch and flavor.

Is this recipe vegan-friendly?

To make the recipe vegan, simply swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free yogurt alternative (such as coconut, almond, or soy yogurt) and use a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup.

Can I add chocolate to the yogurt bark?

Yes, a drizzle of melted dark chocolate or even chocolate chips can be added for an extra indulgent twist. Just be sure to freeze it quickly after adding the chocolate.

How do I prevent the fruit from getting soggy?

It’s best to use fresh, ripe fruit and only add it on top of the yogurt just before freezing. If you’re worried about sogginess, consider drying the fruit a bit with a paper towel before adding it.

How long will this yogurt bark last in the freezer?

Yogurt bark can be stored in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks. For the best taste and texture, try to consume it within that timeframe.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Fresh fruit is recommended for the best texture, but you can use frozen fruit as long as you thaw and drain it beforehand to remove excess moisture.

Yogurt Bark is an incredibly easy, customizable, and healthy frozen treat that’s perfect for any occasion. With a creamy yogurt base, a touch of honey, fresh berries, and a crunchy topping of almonds or seeds, it’s the perfect balance of textures and flavors.
