How to Make Delicious Frozen Yogurt Bark
PREP BAKING SHEET
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
MIX YOGURT BARK INGREDIENTS
In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and cocoa powder until the cocoa powder is completely incorporated. Add 1 cup of chocolate granola and mix again.
TRANSFER TO BAKING SHEET
Next, pour the Greek yogurt mixture over the parchment paper, spreading it evenly across the baking sheet until about ¼-inch thick.
Then place on the sliced strawberries and spread the last ¼ cup of the granola over the top, pressing it gently into the yogurt.
MELT CHOCOLATE
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Then microwave on high in 20-second increments for 1 minute or until melted and glossy. Be sure to stir them every 20 seconds.
DRIZZLE + FREEZE
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of all of the ingredients. Then place the baking sheet into the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the yogurt has completely frozen.
BREAK INTO BARK + ENJOY
Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and gently break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.
If not serving right away, place them in a freezer-safe container or bag and store them in the freezer until ready to eat. Enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
Don’t forget to line your baking sheet with parchment paper. You can use wax paper or aluminum foil if you’re out. That way, you can remove the bark easily from the tray after it’s frozen.
If you want a creamier frozen yogurt bark, use a full-fat yogurt instead of the 5% fat that we used in this recipe. Alternatively, fat-free yogurt may cause the bark to taste too icy.
Make sure you chop your fruits into smaller pieces if needed. If they’re too bulky, the bark won’t be as flat, making it harder to eat.
FAQs
You’ll want to add a sweetener to yogurt before freezing it for frozen yogurt bark. We also recommend adding berries and chocolate for added flavor.
Yes! Line a baking sheet with either parchment paper or aluminum foil before freezing your frozen yogurt bark to avoid sticking.

I had high hopes for this before it was frozen- the yogurt was really yummy. After it was frozen though it lost all its flavor for some reason. The yogurt itself tastes really bland frozen. There were freeze dried berries in the granola I used and they were fine.
Has anyone tried this with freeze dried berries? Fresh berries not being much in season at the moment.
