Snack time just got exciting with this recipe for energy boosting Frozen Yogurt Bark; greek yogurt sweetened with honey and topped with chocolate chips, strawberries and coconut!
So school is back for all kids in the UK now which officially means summer is over. Boo!! Thankfully the weather is still pretty mild here but that means my fussy eater is still shouting for ice cream and popsicles as a post-nursery snack. I made some Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bark earlier in the summer but this time I wanted to experiment with a lower sugar recipe.
Fage very kindly sent us some vouchers to create kid-friendly recipes and artistic creations with their Greek Yogurt and new Fruyo pots. I chose the Classic Total Greek Yogurt for this recipe. I buy this a lot as it has one of the lowest sugar contents I can find in the supermarkets. Obviously it is unsweetened so for kids you may need to add something sweet to it to make it a little more appealing to younger palates. But personally I prefer to add my own natural sweeteners like honey or good quality maple syrup rather than having the refined white stuff pre-added.
My fussy eater and I had a lot of fun making this Frozen Yogurt Bark. She chose the toppings (no surprise there considering there is chocolate involved!) but I was able to sneak some raisins and cranberries into the mixture! Almost any type of dried fruit and nuts would work in this recipe and fresh berries are also perfect for decorating the top as they freeze well.

April 2, 2017 at 6:08 amI am happy to hear that. Because my kids really love to eat dried fruits and nuts. One time, I was surfing the internet and I saw this website https://gourmetnutsanddriedfruit.com/, they are really best seller when it becomes to dried fruits and nuts. And I try to buy some of the ingredients and they are awesome. I can actually recommend this website to you if you have time. Thanks so much…

September 2, 2016 at 3:02 pmHI could you use frozen fruit? and if so should it be thawed first?
Ciara Attwell says
September 2, 2016 at 3:15 pmHi, yes you can use frozen fruit and no it doesn’t need to be thawed. Enjoy!
linda says
September 8, 2016 at 2:48 pmIt would be helpful to know the carb count on these receipes.
Ciara Attwell says
September 8, 2016 at 3:32 pmI don’t produce these as this is essentially a site for kids recipes. There are a lot of carb or calorie counters online which should give you this info if you enter the ingredients.

July 20, 2016 at 2:34 pmJust wanted to say that I thought your recipe was FANTASTIC! The ratio of honey-to-yogurt was spot on for me, and it was just so delicious with frozen berries and chocolate chips. Your pictures are beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing your creation! 🙂

May 21, 2016 at 11:35 amHi! I tried this recipe and really enjoyed it, but there seemed to be a lot of ice in the middle! I only put granola in, and I’m not entirely sure what I did wrong!

Ciara Attwell says
May 21, 2016 at 6:24 pmHi Emma, did you use full fat greek yogurt?
Emma says
May 27, 2016 at 7:47 pmMy apologies for the late response! Yes, I did use full fat.
Adotps says
April 30, 2016 at 9:11 pmI absolutely love this recipe! Since I’m the only one who’ll eat it, I halved the recipe & it made enough to last awhile. Also, I didn’t have the raisins or cranberries so I just mixed in the strawberries and added 2 ozs of coconut. It is delicious and I will be making this forever now & experimenting with the ingredients.
Thanks so much!

March 8, 2016 at 12:06 pmI’m really looking forward to create this recipe. In fact i’m so determined to remember it that I shared it in my weekly finds post, I hope that’s ok!
AOK says
January 19, 2016 at 2:15 pmCan you tell me what size baking tray you used?
Sarah says
January 8, 2016 at 7:15 pmI am excited to make this recipe. I don’t love raisins or cranberries. What would you suggest as good replacements? Nuts?
Ciara Attwell says
January 9, 2016 at 10:04 amHi Sarah, you can just leave them out altogether if you don’t like them. Nuts would be good too though, or seeds maybe?
Jen says
January 18, 2016 at 1:33 pmCan you use frozen fruit?
Ciara Attwell says
January 18, 2016 at 1:43 pmYes absolutely!
Julia says
December 13, 2015 at 1:05 pmDelish, this is my second time making this and I love it. I’m trying out peaches today! Also, I prefer the bark to be around 0.5cm to 1cm because it makes it easier to bite on (if it’s too thick, you may hurt your teeth trying to bite at it since it’ll be rock frozen coming out if the freezer!).

Ciara Attwell says
December 13, 2015 at 3:11 pmHi Julia, so glad you’re enjoying the frozen yogurt bark. Peaches flavour sounds delicious. I will have to try that!
V says
October 5, 2015 at 4:26 amHow long can I leave these out for? I was thinking of making them for a party but if you leave them out will they melt and turn back into yogurt?
Thanks!
Ciara Attwell says
October 5, 2015 at 11:22 amYes they will. You can take it out of the freezer, but it into pieces then pop those pieces into a freezer bag when you are ready to eat!
Brenda Lesley says
August 1, 2015 at 5:20 pmdo you use plan greek yogurt or flavored?
Ciara Attwell says
August 2, 2015 at 7:55 pmI use plain but flavoured would be fine too!
Lauren says
May 11, 2015 at 8:07 pmHow clever of you! I love basic recipes like this. My children are grown, but I like a sweet once in awhile that is not too sweet. Am going to make these as a treat for myself and I want something more than plain fruit. Also going to pin it on my Pinterest board. Thanks for the great idea.
Ciara Attwell says
May 11, 2015 at 8:38 pmThank you Lauren. I hope you enjoy them!
Tayler says
May 6, 2015 at 2:30 pmCan you use semisweet chocolate chips instead of dark? Or no chocolate chips?
Ciara Attwell says
May 6, 2015 at 3:26 pmHi Tayler, yes you can use semisweet or leave them out altogether!
Laura Miller says
October 18, 2015 at 4:54 pmI tried to make these last weekend and they came out of the freezer rock solid :(. Is there anything i can do to fix this?
★★
Ciara Attwell says
October 19, 2015 at 7:21 amHi Laura, that’s totally normal. If its too hard to break up just leave it out of the freezer for a couple of minutes. Yogurt defrosts very quickly so you should be able to break it up after just a few minutes. You could also run a knife under hot water and cut it up.
Malaina says
April 1, 2019 at 11:42 pmCan I leave it in the freezer overnight?
Ciara Attwell says
April 2, 2019 at 7:53 pmYes thats totally fine

January 3, 2015 at 10:43 pmUnsweetened. I find coconut is naturally very sweet!

★★★★★
Ciara Attwell says
November 29, 2014 at 7:45 amYes you could certainly try it. Although it might go a little soggy in the yogurt. Worth a try though!
Sara says
November 22, 2014 at 8:04 pmAre you able to substitute regular yogurt for the greek yogurt?
