- The perfect cooling snack for 'hangry' kids on a hot day.
Ingredients you will need
- Greek yogurt
- Vanilla extract
- Honey (liquid)
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- White chocolate drops
- Mint leaves
Ingredient Notes and Substitutes
- Plain Greek yogurt: I like to use strained full fat Greek yogurt as these types of yogurt are thicker and higher in protein than other yogurts. But any plain yogurt will work. You can also substitute for a dairy-free yogurt.
- Honey (liquid): I use honey as a sweetener in this recipe because it is a natural source of invert sugar which reduces the formation of ice crystals in frozen desserts. The honey can be substituted for maple syrup or your preferred sweetener. If you are making this yoghurt bark for children under one year of age do not use honey as your sweetener
- Berries: These can be substituted for your favourite fresh or frozen berries. Blueberries, boysenberries and blackberries are all lovely or soft fruits like sliced bananas, mango, kiwi fruit and peaches
- White chocolate drops: These can be substituted for milk or dark chocolate chips or left out entirely. Crunchy granola or chopped nuts (peanuts, pistachios, almonds, pecans, walnuts) coconut flakes or a drizzle of almond or peanut butter can also be nice.

Top Tips
Here is how you can make this Frozen Yogurt perfectly every time!
- Frozen yogurt bark is delicious to eat but it does melt quite quickly, it's a great 'outside' snack
- Once you've sliced or broken your frozen Greek yogurt bark into pieces you can store it in your freezer in an airtight container for up to four months.
- Make sure you are quite heavy-handed with the toppings of berries and chocolate chips, you want to get a little of all the flavours in every bite!
- If you have a large tray that fits in your freezer you can double or triple this recipe to make a larger batch.
FAQs
It is the water content of yogurt that causes the ice crystals to form. The thinner/runnier the yogurt the more likely it will become icy. Opt for a thick strained yogurt that has a lower water content. Using an invert sugar such as honey can also reduce ice crystal formation in frozen desserts.
