Can I use non-Greek yogurt or low-fat yogurt?

Yes, you can use regular yogurt, but the bark will freeze slightly icier and snap less cleanly. Greek yogurt really gives that creamy, rich bite. Low-fat versions work, but you lose some creaminess—choose based on your taste and dietary needs.

Does the bark melt quickly after taking it out of the freezer?

Absolutely, it starts to soften after just a few minutes, especially if your kitchen is warm. That’s part of its charm—eat right away, or serve in small batches to avoid melty hands!

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

This recipe is made for prepping ahead. Freeze up to two weeks in advance and just break off pieces as you’re ready to serve or snack.

What fruits or toppings shouldn’t I use?

Avoid fruits with high water content (like watermelon or very juicy peaches), which can make the bark icy and watered-down. Stick to berries, kiwi, mango, and similar fruits. For toppings, steer clear of anything that might get soggy or rubbery in the freezer (like marshmallows or soft baked goods).

Instructions

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the yogurt mixture onto the sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Add Toppings: Distribute the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and coconut flakes evenly over the top of the yogurt layer. Press the toppings gently into the yogurt so they stick.
Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until the yogurt is fully set and firm.
Break and Serve: Once frozen, remove the bark from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes. Break it into pieces and serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal from the baking sheet.
Customize the toppings with other fruits, nuts, or seeds as desired.
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt.
Keep stored in the freezer until ready to eat, as it melts quickly at room temperature.
