How to Make Frozen Greek Yogurt Bark

Ingredients

• 15 oz (425g) Greek yogurt (natural)
• 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• Small handful of blackberries (cut in half or smaller)
• Heaped tablespoon of pistachios

---

Equipment Needed

• Small baking tray or freezer-safe dish (it has to fit in your freezer)
• Parchment/baking paper

---

Instructions

1. Mix the yogurt with the honey in a bowl.
2. Line a small baking tray or freezer-safe dish with parchment/baking paper.
3. Pour the yogurt over the paper and smooth down with the back of a spoon.
4. Cut the blackberries into halves or quarters if they’re large and gently tap them into the yogurt. 
5. Sprinkle the pistachios around and gently tap down.
6. Put the tray in the freezer and let set for at least 3 hours. 
7. Remove from the freezer and break off pieces with your fingers.

Cooking notes:

• Store any leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag. 
• Cut up fruit and crush nuts or other ingredients smaller if your teeth are sensitive to the cold. 
• You don’t want the yogurt to be too thick (about ½ inch/1.25 cm thick is great) so you can always use 2 small plastic containers if you don’t have enough room in your fridge for a baking tray. 
• You can use a liquid sweetener instead of honey or maple syrup if you want to reduce the number of calories. 
• I like to wait 20 minutes or so once I’ve removed it from the freezer to eat. You can eat it virtually right away and it softens quickly but doesn’t melt as quickly as water so you have some time (unless in direct sunlight).

15 Ingredient Options for Yogurt Bark

Like I said, you really can add virtually anything and once you start making this, you start to think of other things you want to add next time. Here are some well-suited ingredients to add to your yogurt:

1. Granola – gives it a bit of crunch and can make it more filling. This can help your yogurt bark double as a light breakfast. 
2. Strawberries – always a winner with yogurt thanks to their brilliant splash of color and deliciousness. 
3. Blueberries – loaded with goodness and another perfect partner for yogurt. 
4. Cashews – with a fairly neutral flavor they pair well with just about any fruit.
5. Cacao or chocolate bits – use bits of cacao or dark chocolate to make it more dessert-y but still healthy.
6. Vanilla extract – add just a dash when you mix your yogurt and sweetener, for extra flavor. 
7. Hazelnuts – go beautifully with yogurt, chocolate, and fruit. 
8. Raspberries – also add lovely color and flavor. 
9. Raisins – you probably have some in your pantry already.
10. Shredded coconut – a decadent treat to make your yogurt bark even richer. 
11. Lemon juice – add a squeeze of lemon or lime when mixing your yogurt for a tangy twist. 
12. Seeds – sunflower or pumpkin seeds work well. 
13. Jam or marmalade dollops – for extra color, zing, or sweetness.
14. Ground cinnamon – mix a sprinkle in with your yogurt mixture. 
15. Macadamia nuts – for a more extravagant twist on yogurt bark and definitely delicious. 

Of course, that list is not exhaustive. In fact, the possibilities are nearly endless. Not to mention you can mix and match the ingredients and try out lots of different combos. Once you start, it’s mildly addictive.

Is Frozen Greek Yogurt Bark Healthy?

Typically, it’s very healthy. Greek yogurt is a probiotic powerhouse and rich in protein and calcium too. It should be low in sugar too but if you choose a flavored variety, they usually come with added sugars so check the label. 

For the version I made today, the pistachios are also good for you because they are full of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and lots of nutrients like magnesium and phosphorus. Blackberries are also super nutritious containing vitamins C and K, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. And if you choose to use honey then it also contains antioxidants, but while it’s a natural sweetener it’s still high in sugar and calories.

Unless you add less healthy ingredients like white chocolate (so yummy but not as good for you), your frozen yogurt bark will be healthy. Having said that, everything is fine in moderation unless you’re allergic or have a medical condition preventing you from eating something. If you’re trying to get your little one to eat some yogurt or swap ice cream for a healthier treat, chuck some white chocolate or whatever in!

Can I Use Another Yogurt?

You can use regular natural yogurt if you prefer. While water content varies between brands, Greek yogurt contains less water because of the straining process it goes through. Why is this important? While not a deal breaker, it just means that the more watery natural yogurt turns out a little more icy than creamy when frozen compared to Greek yogurt. 

And if you’re not worried about sugar content or have a favorite flavored yogurt you can use that instead.
