Transform yogurt and fruit into the yummiest frozen Yogurt Bark with this simple method. It’s a fun way to serve yogurt, it’s great for warm days, and it’s a fun option for teething relief for kids.
We’ve been making frozen yogurt bark for a few years now as both a cool treat to share with the kids and an easy option when there’s a teething toddler in the house. It’s one of our very favorite ways to mix up how we serve yogurt and honestly, it’s just so fun.
I make this whenever it’s warm outside and we need an easy snack to help us cool down; if I wind up with leftover yogurt in the fridge; or when I want to offer yogurt to my kids in a really fun way. (Similar to my Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles!)
I have two easy options for you with this recipe. To make it without a blender, you can spread the yogurt mixture and add the toppings overtop. Or you can blend the fruit into the yogurt for a smoother consistency and sprinkle some toppings on top. It is very versatile so I’ll share a lot of options below.
(And if you have yogurt to use up after this, try my Greek Frozen Yogurt, Vanilla Yogurt recipe, our favorite Yogurt Muffins, and our Lemon Yogurt Cake.)

Ingredients You Need
Here’s a look at the ingredients you need to make this frozen yogurt bark recipe so you know what to pick up at the store.
- Blueberries: I prefer to use frozen wild berries for both flavor and ease, and because they are a brighter purple when blended. You can use regular blueberries, though, or another favorite berry or fruit such as strawberries or banana.
- Greek-style plain yogurt: I like to use Stonyfield whole-milk yogurt (which is made with full-fat milk) since it adds to the creamy texture in this Yogurt Bark and contains fat that little kids need for brain development. Greek-style yogurt will be a little creamier in the end.
- Coconut milk: I like to use the solids from a can of full-fat coconut milk to add to the creaminess of the bark and to ensure it’s not rock solid when you go to bite into it.
- Peanut butter, jelly, maple syrup, cereal, sprinkles, additional fruit for topping, optional.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s a look at the basic process involved in making this frozen yogurt bark recipe so you know what to expect. Scroll to the end of the post for the full amounts and timing.
Step 1. To make the blended option, add the berries, yogurt, maple syrup and coconut milk to a blender.
Step 2. Blend until smooth.
Step 3. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper. (This makes the bark easier to break once it’s frozen since it won’t freeze to the pan.) Pour the blended yogurt mixture overtop. Smooth to about ¼-½ inch thick. Add optional toppings if using.
Step 4. Freeze for at least 4 hours. To serve, break into pieces and eat immediately.
(To make without a blender, stir together the yogurt and coconut milk, spread on the prepared pan, then top with optional toppings and freeze.)
Frequently Asked Questions
The time it takes yogurt to freeze depends on how thick the yogurt layer is. In this recipe, the yogurt takes a few hours to freeze firm.
Spread yogurt on a parchment paper or silpat-lined baking sheet pan, then add optional toppings, and freeze. Break to serve.
You can blend in fruit and sweeten to taste, or top with diced berries, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips.
How to Store
Freeze leftover frozen yogurt bark in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months. It thaws quickly, so try not to let it sit out at room temperature for all that long and encourage the kids enjoy it sooner than later.
Best Tips for Success
- Greek yogurt creates a slightly creamier texture, but you can use regular yogurt if that’s what you have on hand.
- I like the way adding coconut milk—but just the solids from a can of full-fat coconut milk—helps the consistency become smoother in the finished bark, but you can also replace with Greek yogurt if you prefer.
- Trade in strawberries for the blueberries if you’d like.
- To make without a blender, stir together the yogurt, coconut milk, and honey or maple syrup. Spread onto a lined half sheet pan. Sprinkle ½ cup fruit on top. Add any optional toppings and freeze as directed.
- This melts quickly so encourage the kids to enjoy it right away!

Can you use nonfat Greek yogurt and add fat source like hemp seeds to it?
Sure
can I do it without coconut milk?
Yes, though it may be a little icier.
Our 4 year old loves making this and eating it! We just used 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt and 1-2 Tbsp honey. We usually add sprinkles and blueberries. Sooo easy and great way to get protein and calcium in. Thank you. Great for summer.
This is on repeat during the summer. We eat it for breakfast and for snacks. Easy to for a toddler to help make as well! I love how creamy, tasty and refreshing this is!
Super easy to make and delicious! Perfect healthy snack for a hot summer’s day!
Love love love!! Used in popsicle molds and was a huge hit with my 18 month old during the hot hot summer
I made this last night to give my kids after school today. The only problem was that it was so good I wasn’t sure there would be any left by the time they got home! Thankfully I managed to save them some and they loved it too. Looking forward to trying more variations!
We just made this for our little one who has a milk allergy using dairy free greek yoghurt. Can’t wait to try it.
Hey there! My kids are adults but I love your recipes, especially ones like this. Thanks for sharing!
