This frozen yogurt bark is one of those treats I turn to when I want something sweet but refreshing and light. Layered with creamy Greek yogurt, juicy berries, and crunchy granola, it is every bit as delicious for breakfast as it is for an after-dinner dessert. It is a fantastic recipe for warm days and a reliable way to sneak extra fruit into your snack routine.
Ingredients
- Greek yogurt: rich and creamy provides the bark’s base look for thick varieties with no artificial flavors or sweeteners
- Mixed berries: bring color and natural sweetness choose fresh ripe strawberries blueberries or raspberries for the juiciest result frozen berries will work too just thaw and pat dry
- Granola: adds that signature crunch make sure to pick a granola that is toasted and has clumps for the best texture check for low added sugar if you want to keep it healthy
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Line the Pan:
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the bark from sticking and to make cleanup a breeze
- Spread the Yogurt:
- Use a spatula to gently spread the Greek yogurt evenly over the parchment about a half inch thick aim for an even layer so the bark freezes at the same rate and breaks easily
- Add Toppings:
- Scatter the berries and granola evenly over the yogurt go all the way to the edges to ensure every bite has fruit and crunch
- Press Toppings In:
- Lightly press the toppings into the yogurt with clean hands or the back of the spatula this helps them stick once frozen
- Freeze Until Firm:
- Transfer the tray to your freezer and freeze for at least two hours or until completely firm the bark needs to be solid all the way through before breaking into pieces
- Serve:
- Once solid remove from the freezer lift the bark using the paper break into pieces by hand or use a knife serve immediately for best texture

A favorite ingredient for me is Greek yogurt especially the thick styles because it gives that chewy almost ice cream-like bite without any churning I will never forget my niece’s face the first time she cracked the bark open it is a little bit of kitchen magic you can enjoy on a regular afternoon
Storage Tips
Once you break the bark into pieces store any extras in a freezer-safe bag or container Place parchment between layers to prevent sticking It keeps for up to two months in the freezer and is perfect for grabbing whenever cravings hit
Ingredient Substitutions
If you do not have Greek yogurt regular yogurt can work but the bark will be a bit softer Dairy-free or plant-based yogurt is a good substitute for lactose-free needs Switch out berries for your favorite seasonal fruit or try dried fruit Coconut flakes or seeds add added crunch and nutrition
