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.

This was fun and easy and a nice way to provide variety in my breakfast routine. 🙂
Looks so delicious. I will incorporate some of the ingredients like dried fruits and nuts to this recipe. Great Job….
★★★★★
Thank you!
I 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…

Best snack. These are the wonders of nuts and dried fruits!!!

HI could you use frozen fruit? and if so should it be thawed first?
Hi, yes you can use frozen fruit and no it doesn’t need to be thawed. Enjoy!
It would be helpful to know the carb count on these receipes.
I 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.
Just 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! 🙂

Thank you so much Virginia! 🙂
Hi! 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!

Hi Emma, did you use full fat greek yogurt?
My apologies for the late response! Yes, I did use full fat.
I 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!

So glad you enjoyed it!
I’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!
Can you tell me what size baking tray you used?
I am excited to make this recipe. I don’t love raisins or cranberries. What would you suggest as good replacements? Nuts?
Hi Sarah, you can just leave them out altogether if you don’t like them. Nuts would be good too though, or seeds maybe?
Can you use frozen fruit?
Yes absolutely!
Delish, 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!).
★★★★★
Hi Julia, so glad you’re enjoying the frozen yogurt bark. Peaches flavour sounds delicious. I will have to try that!
How 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!
Yes 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!
do you use plan greek yogurt or flavored?
I use plain but flavoured would be fine too!
How 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.
Thank you Lauren. I hope you enjoy them!
Can you use semisweet chocolate chips instead of dark? Or no chocolate chips?
Hi Tayler, yes you can use semisweet or leave them out altogether!
I tried to make these last weekend and they came out of the freezer rock solid :(. Is there anything i can do to fix this?
★★
Hi 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.
just put it in the freezer, roll on 1 hour 🙂

Hope you enjoy it!
Looks great! Do you use sweetened or unsweetened desiccated coconut?
Unsweetened. I find coconut is naturally very sweet!
Fantastic!!!!!
★★★★★
Thank you Roger!
My husband, myself, and my mom are all diabetic and this dessert looks fantastic! I can’t wait to see the rest of the recipes!!
★★★★★
Than you Lynda. I hope you all enjoy it!
awesome 🙂
Thank you!
Hi! This looks so good! Do you think I could put some granola along with the dried fruit?!
★★★★★
Yes you could certainly try it. Although it might go a little soggy in the yogurt. Worth a try though!
Are you able to substitute regular yogurt for the greek yogurt?
Hi Sara, yes you can use regular yogurt too!
As a home daycare owner in Alberta Canada I can’t wait to revise my menu and try so many of these recipes. I’m glad I stumbled upon your page. I am always trying to make food fun and full of the right stuff!
