This frozen yogurt bark with berries and coconut is the perfect refreshing snack. It’s so easy to whip up, healthy and packed with protein. You’ll want a batch in your freezer at all times.
It is clear that you guys are loving the simple, cool treats this summer! My chocolate peanut butter banana bites went viral and the chocolate covered frozen raspberries surpassed Olivia’s birth announcement on Instagram. Needless to say, when I thought of this yogurt bark recipe I was pretty certain you’d love it as well… we’ll have to see!
This recipe is super simple to make – it’s the perfect recipe to involve your kids in. Plus, the red, white and blue color combo makes it perfect for patriotic holidays like the 4th of July and Memorial Day!
Frozen Yogurt Bark Ingredients
- plain Greek yogurt – I personally like using full-fat Greek yogurt for yogurt bark because it’s thicker and a bit more rich, but you can use regular plain yogurt if that’s all you have and low-fat yogurt if you’re wanting to cut back on the fat content. You can also experiment with using flavored and sweetened yogurt!
- maple syrup or honey – the maple syrup in this recipe sweetens up the Greek yogurt just enough. If you want to keep the recipe super low in sugar you can use plain yogurt without sweetening it, but I think it tastes really good with a little maple syrup.
- vanilla
- strawberries & blueberries – you can use any fresh berries you like, but I love the combo of strawberries and blueberries.
- unsweetened coconut flakes – the coconut flakes are optional, but they do add a nice (almost chewy) texture to the yogurt bark.
How to Make Yogurt Bark
Like I said earlier, this recipe is super simple and great for getting kids involved in the kitchen. The hardest part is waiting for it to set in the freezer. Everyone will have to practice a little patience!
Start by lining a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure it’s rimmed! We don’t want a yogurt mess in your freezer.
In a medium bowl or measuring cup, stir together the yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla. Pro tip: I like to make my own flavored and sweetened yogurt so I know what ingredients are being added. You can start with a plain yogurt and customize from there! That said, this recipe will certainly work with already flavored and/or sweetened yogurt.
Spread the yogurt mixture on the prepared baking sheet and scatter the strawberries and blueberries on top. Sprinkle with the coconut flakes.
Now the hard part… waiting! Place in the freezer for about 3 hours or until the yogurt is firm. Cut or break into pieces and serve.
Swaps and Customizations
There are so many ways to customize this yogurt bark! I can already see myself making this all summer long in different variations. Here are some ideas:
- Make it vegan. Use a plain dairy-free yogurt option and maple syrup to make this yogurt bark vegan!
- Swap out the fruit. Like different berries? Want to try a different fruit combo all together? Go for it! You really can’t go wrong.
- Go wild on toppings. I’m already dreaming up an option that is drizzled with chocolate… maybe with peanut butter too?! This would also be delicious with added nuts or granola.
Storing Yogurt Bark
I recommend storing your frozen yogurt bark in an airtight container in the freezer until you’re ready to serve! I’ve been using freezer storage bags for mine. If possible, serve in a cool spot or encourage your guests (or family members!) to enjoy immediately on a hot day. I like bringing it out of the freezer a few minutes before serving, just to let it soften up the tiniest bit.
The yogurt bark will keep up to 3 months in the freezer, but I bet it’ll be gone in less than a week. 😉

Looks delicious! Is there a reason you don’t use low or non-fat Greek yogurt in this recipe? Thanks!
I just prefer full fat Greek yogurt over low-fat / non-fat, but feel free to use whatever yogurt you prefer to make this bark. 🙂
Made this bark and it’s so simple and tasty!!
Ahh yay!! So glad you’re enjoying this bark, Katie. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. 🙂
This yogurt bark looks so yummy. I would definitely try this.Thank you for the recipe.
This looks amazing. Greek Yogurt and Blueberries are on my shopping list!
This was so much fun to make with my little ones and we ALL loved eating it after coming inside from a hike on this HOT day! Delicious, refreshing, and super easy to make!! Love it and will be making another batch soon!

Perfect yummy treat in time for the 4th! Thanks for the wonderful easy recipe. My family loves it!
Yay!! I’m so glad this recipe was a hit with your family. Thanks for making it, I appreciate it. 🙂
Love the simplicity and taste of this but mine was a mess to cut because the yogurt started melting immediately after taking it out of the freezer. I made sure to freeze in the thin layer as called. Not sure why mine turned into a goopy mess?!
Oh no! Sorry to hear that, Sara. What kind of yogurt did you use?
Fun to make with kiddos but came out very tart! Also a mess cutting it apart
Hey Yvette – Sorry to hear that, what type of yogurt did you use and did you add any sweetener?
Yes – from recipe:
1 1/2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt
2 Tablespoons honey
Greek yogurt is definitely more tart. You could always try using vanilla yogurt next time or adding more honey!
Yes used what it called for in recipe- while fat Greek yogurt and honey!
Would you still use the honey or maple syrup if you use a flavored yogurt. Specifically, vanilla yogurt – would you still use the vanilla as well?
Hey Barbara! I probably wouldn’t add vanilla if you’re using vanilla yogurt. And you could probably skip the added sweetener, but that’s totally up to you!
I ended up using whole milk yogurt and added the honey and vanilla. It is so good and my grandson loves it. Extremely easy to make as well. Thank you
Yay!! So glad this yogurt bark was a hit, Barbara. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating.
Loved this. trying to find a slightly healthier alt to ice cream for an after dinner treat. Used full fat lemon curd greek yoghurt, with mango, raspberries, toasted coconut flakes, a few chopped pistachios, and a tad drizzled white chocolate. Was also beautiful! Mine wasnt too thin actually – and cut really nicely into 12 squares.
Ohh sounds like a delicious combo!! So pumped you enjoyed it, Bryony! Thanks for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
I was so excited to try this with the vegan suggestion, and while I’m sure the recipe is great with greek yoghurt the outcome with vegan yogurt really bummed me out. I used Coyo coconut cream yogurt because the fat content is high and I figured it would make it freeze well, but my bark ended up with an icy, brittle consistency with long ice crystals in it. Not really the creamy, satisfying treat I had hoped for. I’m wondering if my expectations of the texture were off since hearing “bark” and the bark-like appearance had me hoping for more of a white chocolate bark texture once the yogurt set, and whether a similar texture is achieved when full fat dairy yogurt is used. Thanks for the idea and any responses Brittany! I really love all of your recipes in general and sorry I didn’t have better news to report back on this one!
Hey Nathalie, I’m so sorry this recipe didn’t turn out for you with the coconut yogurt. I do think the vegan version depends on the type of yogurt you use and I hate that this one didn’t work for you. I need to try a coconut yogurt myself!
It always amazes me that when people completely change a recipe and it doesn’t work out for them, they give the author of a great recipe a bad rating. I wish people would stop doing this, it discredits the authentic recipe and may deter others from making it.
That looks yummy and sweets, Thanks for sharing this article and recipe, keep on your post
Made two batches of this and it is delicious! However, it was melting and becoming gooey after just 5 minutes of being out of the freezer! How long is it supposed to last out of the freezer for? I was hoping to share with others but I’m scared it will all melt before I even get to where I’m going! I think I confused this bark to be similar to dessert barks that can stay out for serving for more than a few minutes.
Hey Nikki – This yogurt bark definitely melts a bit after being out of the fridge for a little bit. If you can, I would transport this in a cooler to keep it hard as long as possible.
Do you think it would turn out okay if I added a little cocoa or cacao powder?
Hey Jennifer – I bet that would turn out just fine! Let me know if you try it. 🙂
Quick and easy to make! Sooo delicious!
Woo! Glad you enjoyed this recipe, Michele! Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
In trying to keep the carb count low, do you think it would be okay to use ChocZero low carb maple syrup, maybe sprinkle in some of their zero carb dark chocolate chips?? I love the recipe and would like to make it, but try to reduce the carb count so I can use it as my “treat” at the end of a long day.
Hey Pamela- You can definitely use those two ingredients. Let me know how turns out!
Super simple and delicious snack, really refreshing on hotter days 😋 don’t know if I left it too long before trying to slice, but I couldn’t really cut it into equal pieces, didn’t affect my enjoyment tho 😊
This recipe is so easy and versatile- whatever fruit you like! I added chia seeds and coca nibs. Delicious. It is such a yummy and healthy treat!
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying this yogurt bark, Shelly! I love the add ins your using, so good! Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
I just made this with vanilla yogurt n added strawberry , banana cinnamon graham crackers and give a rating because mine isn’t ready yet .
Let me know how it turns out!!
This yogurt bark is so easy, delicious and versatile. I’m happy that you can diversify the fruit toppings, I love banana and chocolate bites too.
Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe!

What a winning recipe! Been pretty bummed that all the fro yo popsicles have a flavor, I like the regular tart of just plain Greek yogurt. Tweaked the recipe to our liking. We used some high grade honey with berries and we gobbled this up. This will be a staple in my household.
Yay!! So happy to hear your family is loving this recipe, Cynthia. Thanks so much for trying it out and coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
This is a yummy, cold treat! I followed the recipe this week and have been making trips back to the freezer for more! Thanks, Brittany!
Ah yay! Happy to hear you’ve been enjoying this recipe, Sarah. Thanks for the review!
How fast does this go from solid state back to liquid state? Want to make it to pack for a lunch not sure how well it holds up. 🤔
Hi, Jen. Do you have an ice pack in your lunch bag? I’m afraid it might get quite messy. You could certainly try it!
Do you think this would work with non dairy yogurt?
Hi Dori – I haven’t tried this recipe with a non-dairy yogurt so I’m not sure! It might change the texture a bit.
Thanks for your marvellous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it, you may be a great author.
I will always bookmark your blog and definitely will come back from now on. I want to encourage you to definitely continue your great writing,
Have a nice afternoon!
