Ingredients for Frozen Yogurt Bark

  • Yogurt: It is best to use plain, full-fat Greek yogurt when making yogurt bark. This will ensure a rich treat that does not form ice crystals when frozen and that you can control the added sugar in this frozen dessert. Store-bought Greek yogurt, Instant Pot yogurt, cold start yogurt, or coconut milk yogurt all work well.
  • To Sweeten & Flavor: Adding pure maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract will sweeten and flavor the yogurt, yet use much less sugar then most brands of Vanilla yogurt.
  • Toppings for Yogurt Bark: Berries, chocolate chips, chopped cherries, granola, sprinkles, nut butter, nuts, and/or chopped candy all make great options for yogurt bark toppings.

How To Make Frozen Yogurt Bark

The following tips are provided to help you achieve perfect results. You will find the detailed instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Sweeten the Yogurt

Yes, you can simply use vanilla Greek yogurt to make yogurt bark, but many brands have added stabilizers and are overly sweet. I prefer to use maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract to give the yogurt just the right amount of sweet vanilla flavor.

Thinly Spread Yogurt & Add Toppings

Using an offset spatula spread the yogurt in an even layer on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, which will prevent the yogurt from sticking to the baking sheet. Sprinkle the yogurt with berries or toppings of your choice.

Freeze Until Solid

Place the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze until solid. Overnight is best. Once frozen, turn the bark out onto a cutting sheet and remove the parchment paper.

Cut or Break Yogurt Bark

Once the yogurt bark is frozen solid, remove it from the freezer, peel off the parchment paper, and break or cut the bark into large chunks.

∗ Flavor Variations for Frozen Yogurt Bark ∗

While fresh berries are my favorite topping, use your imagination to top the yogurt bark with any toppings you desire. Below are a few ideas to inspire you.

  • Smores Frozen Yogurt Bark: Add crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
  • Chocolate Covered Fruit Frozen Yogurt Bark: Add sliced strawberries, whole raspberries, or pitted and sliced cherries along with chocolate chips or chocolate chunks to the yogurt.
  • Peanut Butter Chocolate Yogurt Frozen Bark: Add a thin swirl of peanut butter and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  • Rocky Road Yogurt Frozen Bark: Top the yogurt with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chopped peanuts.
  • White Chocolate Pistachio Frozen Yogurt Bark: Add shelled, roasted pistachios and chopped white chocolate to the yogurt prior to freezing the yogurt bark.

Storage Instructions

Just like ice cream, frozen yogurt bark is best served frozen and will melt fast. If you aren’t enjoying this frozen treat immediately after breaking into pieces, place the pieces of bark into an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. Enjoy frozen!
