This frozen yogurt bark is my go-to dessert for summer picnics or family movie nights since it is fun to make with kids and feels so special with every chocolate drizzle and strawberry bite.
My first time making this was on a whim after a hot afternoon in the park. It only took a few minutes of mixing before the freezer did the rest, and that night the bark disappeared before the opening credits of our movie.

- Chocolate Granola: adds a crunch and chocolaty punch choose a brand with real cocoa or make your own

- Melt Chocolate:
- Microwave chocolate chips in a heat safe bowl for twenty seconds at a time stirring after each burst until melted and glossy
- Drizzle and Freeze:

Chocolate granola is my secret favorite in this recipe since it stays extra crunchy even after freezing. Once my niece and I tried a batch with raspberries and her proud grin while munching was unforgettable.
Storage Tips
Store bark pieces in a tightly sealed freezer container or zip bag to prevent freezer burn. Separate layers with parchment if you want neater servings. Frozen yogurt bark is best eaten straight from the freezer so it does not melt or weep.
Ingredient Substitutions
Swap Greek yogurt for plain whole milk yogurt but choose a thick style so the bark holds its shape. Use honey or agave in place of maple syrup. Blueberries or raspberries can take the place of strawberries and any nutty or plain granola works in a pinch.
Serving Suggestions
This bark makes a perfect cool snack right out of the freezer but is also beautiful as a topper for a berry salad or as a sweet side at brunch. Break irregular shards for sharing or cut with a knife for tidier servings for parties.
Cultural and Historical Context
Frozen yogurt treats have been enjoyed in American kitchens for decades as lighter alternatives to ice cream desserts. This bark is inspired by classic chocolate and berry combos but has an all ages twist with wholesome yogurt and the joy of breaking bark to share.
