This frozen yogurt bark is a mess-free way of enjoying yogurt with all of your favorite toppings. It is a refreshing sweet treat that your little ones are sure to love!

Frozen yogurt bark is the sweet treat that I didn’t know I needed. I make them for the boys but can’t help snacking on pieces myself. They are so creamy from the Greek yogurt with bursts of sweetness from the berries. You can top it with all of your favorite toppings for a nutritious snack!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Here is what you’ll need to make this frozen yogurt bark:

• Greek Yogurt: Naturally thick and great to help the bark hold its shape. I recommend using full-fat whole milk Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture and taste.
• Berries: I love to use strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for this bark, but any type of berries works well! You can also feel free to add in some bananas or kiwi slices for an extra citrus taste!
• Maple Syrup: For added sweetness to the bark. The maple syrup may be omitted, but note that the bark will not be as sweet. 
• Granola: For an added crunch!
• Shredded Coconut: For added texture and taste.

PROCESS

1. In a bowl, stir together the maple syrup and yogurt. Once combined, spread out onto a parchment paper lined baking pan into a rectangular shape.
2. Slice the berries and spread them out all over the yogurt.
3. Sprinkle all over with granola, shredded coconut, and any of your favorite toppings.
4. Place the pan in a freezer for 2 hours and slice into small squares.
5. Transfer the squares to a freezer safe ziploc bag or container to store!

TOPPING IDEAS FOR YOGURT BARK

I topped my yogurt bark with berries, granola, and coconut, but you can completely customize it to your taste! Here are some other topping ideas for the bark:

• Chopped berries
• Chopped mangoes/pineapple
• Crushed granola
• Ground nuts
• Shredded coconut
• Drizzled peanut butter
• Crushed freeze-dried fruits
• Flax seeds/Chia seeds (for added nutrition!) 

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Once the yogurt bark hardens for at least 2 hours, cut them into squares and transfer them to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag or container. Store them in the freezer for up to 1 month. Make sure to transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container as soon as they harden to prevent freezer burn.

SUBSTITUTIONS

• Greek yogurt: You may substitute the greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative, like coconut yogurt. Be mindful that coconut yogurt is not as thick, but it still hardens and freezes well.
• Berries: You may replace the strawberries and blueberries with any other types of berries such as raspberries or blackberries. You may also replace the berries with chopped mangoes, pineapple, or kiwi for a tropical flavored bark!
• Maple Syrup: The maple syrup adds sweetness to the bark and helps balance the tartness from the yogurt. If you prefer a natural sweetener, you may replace it with 2 tablespoons of powdered freeze dried fruits (freeze dried fruits crushed or blended into a powder).

RECIPE NOTES

• This is a great snack for teething babies and soothing little gums!
• Prior to serving, let the yogurt bark sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes so that it can slightly soften and not be too hard for your little one to take bites from.
• Do not leave the yogurt bark at room temperature for too long because it will melt. Store the bark pieces in the freezer.
• Make sure to transfer the yogurt bark to a freezer safe ziploc bag or container as soon as it fully hardens. This will help prevent it from getting freezer burnt.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup used to your liking. You can add in more or less maple syrup as needed. Taste the yogurt after mixing it with the maple syrup and adjust the sweetness level as needed.
• If you choose to add granola, make sure to avoid granola that contains honey for babies under the age of 1.
