4.3 from 15 reviews

A simple, refreshing, and nutritious frozen treat made with just three main ingredients: creamy Greek yogurt, natural maple syrup for sweetness, and a medley of fresh fruits. This healthier yogurt bark is perfect for a quick snack or dessert, offering a burst of flavor and a good balance of protein and natural sugars, all while being easy to prepare and frozen for convenience.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 15 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups (456g) whole milk plain Greek yogurt
  • 2-4 tbsp (30ml-59ml) maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup (about 160g) mixed fresh fruit (such as blueberries, chopped strawberries, kiwi)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a small baking sheet (approximately 12 x 9 inches) with parchment paper to prevent the yogurt from sticking.
  2. Mix Yogurt and Syrup: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and maple syrup. Start with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and mix until fully incorporated. Adjust sweetness by adding more syrup as desired.
  3. Spread Yogurt: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread it evenly into a layer between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch thick, ensuring uniform thickness for even freezing.
  4. Optional Chocolate Swirl: If desired, melt 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips using a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Drop small dollops over the yogurt and gently swirl with a spatula or knife for a marbled effect.
  5. Add Fruit Topping: Evenly distribute the fresh mixed fruits over the surface of the yogurt layer. Press down lightly so some fruit pieces embed into the yogurt, preventing them from falling off after freezing.
  6. Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 3 to 4 hours or until the yogurt is completely firm and frozen solid.
  7. Cut and Serve: Remove the frozen yogurt bark from the freezer and use a large knife to cut it into pieces. Enjoy immediately as it will begin to melt after removal from the freezer.
  8. Storage: Store any leftover bark in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use any combination of fresh fruits you like or have on hand.
  • The optional chocolate swirl adds a richer taste, but can be omitted for a simpler, dairy-fruit flavor.
  • The yogurt bark should be eaten soon after removing from the freezer as it melts quickly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to preserve texture and flavor.
