Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Line a baking tray with parchment paper, making sure it has a lip to contain any yogurt that might spread. The parchment ensures your frozen bark will release easily once frozen without sticking to the tray.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract until completely smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed - the sweetness will become slightly less pronounced once frozen, so aim for a flavor that's just a touch sweeter than you'd like.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking tray and use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it into an even layer about 1 cm thick. Too thin and the bark will be fragile; too thick and it won't freeze properly in the center.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Prepare your fruits by slicing larger ones (strawberries, kiwi) into thin pieces that will freeze more evenly. Smaller berries like blueberries can be halved or used whole depending on your preference.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Arrange the prepared fruits across the yogurt layer, gently pressing them in so they adhere but don't sink completely. Think of creating a beautiful mosaic of colors and textures that will be revealed in each piece.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Sprinkle your chosen toppings - chopped nuts, coconut flakes, and/or chocolate chips - evenly across the surface. These add wonderful textural contrast to the smooth yogurt and soft fruit.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Place the tray in the freezer, ensuring it's sitting flat. Freeze for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight until completely solid. The bark should feel firm to the touch with no soft spots in the center.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Once frozen solid, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften (this makes it easier to break without shattering). Gently peel the bark from the parchment paper and place on a cutting board.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>Using your hands or a knife, break or cut the frozen yogurt bark into irregular pieces or more uniform squares - whatever you prefer. The breaking sound should be crisp and satisfying!</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 10</h4>Serve immediately or transfer pieces to an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month, though the fruit may begin to lose its vibrant color after a week.</li></ol>

FAQs

What ingredients are used in Frozen Yogurt Bark with Fruit Recipe?

The key ingredients are Greek yoghurt (full-fat or 2%), honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), kiwi, chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds or walnuts), and optional coconut flakes and dark chocolate chips.

How to cook Frozen Yogurt Bark with Fruit Recipe at home?

Learn how to cook Frozen Yogurt Bark with Fruit Recipe by mixing Greek yoghurt with honey and vanilla, spreading it on a parchment-lined tray, decorating with fresh fruits and toppings, then freezing for at least 4 hours until solid. Once frozen, let it sit briefly at room temperature before breaking into pieces to enjoy immediately.

Can I use non-dairy yoghurt alternatives for frozen bark?

Yes, you can substitute Greek yoghurt with coconut, almond, soy or oat-based yoghurt alternatives. Choose thicker varieties for best results, and note that the texture and freezing time might differ slightly. You may need to adjust the sweetener as plant-based yoghurts often have different natural sweetness levels.

How long does homemade frozen yoghurt bark last?

Properly stored in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers, frozen yoghurt bark will keep in the freezer for up to one month. However, the fresh fruit may begin to lose its vibrant colour and texture after about a week, so it's best enjoyed within 7-10 days for optimal quality.

What are the best fruits to use for frozen treats that won't become too icy?

Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) work exceptionally well as they contain less water. Stone fruits like peaches and mangoes are good when finely diced. Avoid high-water content fruits like watermelon or citrus as they become very icy. Bananas freeze beautifully with a creamy texture.
