Ingredients
Yogurt Base
- 2 cups whole milk vanilla yogurt (about 480 g)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup diced strawberries (about 75 g)
- 1/4 cup blueberries (about 37 g)
- 1/4 cup granola (about 30 g)
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Whole milk vanilla yogurt: Whole milk yogurt gives the bark a creamy texture and a smoother bite once frozen. Greek vanilla yogurt also works if you want a thicker, tangier bark.
- Strawberries: Dice or slice the strawberries thinly so the bark is easier to break and bite into after freezing.
- Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best because they hold their shape and look beautiful in the yogurt. Frozen blueberries can be used, but they may release color into the yogurt.
- Granola: Use your favorite granola. A cinnamon, honey, vanilla, or almond granola works especially well with the berries.
- Sweetness: Vanilla yogurt is already sweetened, so no extra sweetener is needed. If using plain yogurt, stir in a little honey or maple syrup before spreading.
How to Make Frozen Yogurt Bark
- Line a small baking sheet or freezer-safe tray with parchment paper.
- Add the vanilla yogurt to the lined pan.
- Spread the yogurt into an even layer, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Try to keep the layer even so the bark freezes and breaks neatly.
- Scatter the diced strawberries over the yogurt.
- Add the blueberries, spacing them evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle granola over the top.
- Freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until completely firm.
- Remove the frozen yogurt bark from the pan and peel away the parchment paper.
- Cut with a sharp knife or break into pieces.
- Serve immediately, or store the pieces in a freezer-safe container.
Expert Tips
- Use parchment paper so the bark lifts easily from the pan.
- Spread the yogurt evenly. Thick spots take longer to freeze and thin spots melt faster.
- Keep the fruit pieces small for easier slicing and eating.
- Press the toppings gently into the yogurt so they stick after freezing.
- Freeze until fully firm before cutting or breaking.
- Work quickly once the bark is frozen because yogurt softens fast at room temperature.
- Store pieces in a single layer or with parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
- Use whole milk yogurt for the creamiest texture.
Storage & Freezing
- Fridge: This recipe is not ideal for the fridge because the bark will soften and lose its frozen texture. Keep it frozen until ready to serve.
- Freezer: Store frozen yogurt bark pieces in a freezer-safe container or zip-top freezer bag for up to 1 month. Place parchment paper between layers if stacking.
- Thawing: Do not fully thaw before serving. Let the bark sit at room temperature for 1 to 3 minutes if it is too hard, then enjoy while still frozen.
Variations
- Chocolate berry bark: Add mini chocolate chips before freezing.
- Peanut butter swirl: Swirl a few teaspoons of peanut butter into the yogurt before adding fruit.
- Tropical bark: Use diced mango, pineapple, and coconut granola.
- Greek yogurt bark: Use vanilla Greek yogurt for a thicker, higher-protein version.
- Nutty crunch: Add chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans with the granola.

Yes, but plain yogurt will taste tangier. Stir in honey, maple syrup, or a little vanilla extract before spreading it on the pan.
It usually needs 3 to 4 hours in the freezer. A thicker layer may need a little longer.
You can, but fresh fruit gives the cleanest look and texture. Frozen fruit may release extra moisture and color as it freezes.
Yogurt naturally gets firmer and slightly icy when frozen. Whole milk yogurt or Greek yogurt gives a creamier texture than low-fat yogurt.
Serve it straight from the freezer. Let it sit for just a minute or two if it is very hard, but do not leave it out too long because it melts quickly.
