5 Ingredient Frozen Yogurt Bars

Frozen yogurt bars are a delightful treat that blends the creamy goodness of yogurt, sweet berries and the irresistible crunch of granola and chocolate chips.

Unlike traditional chocolate barks, using yogurt is a refreshing and healthy alternative for those seeking a lighter option.

With its vibrant colors and playful presentation, frozen yogurt bark is as visually appealing as it is delicious.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes! I’ve made this with plain yogurt and plain coconut yogurt and both work great. Keep in mind that regular plain yogurt may freeze with more of an icy texture as it contains a higher percentage of water compared to full-fat Greek yogurt.

Topping Variations

This creamy yogurt base serves as a fantastic canvas for various toppings and flavor combinations.

Try some of these topping ideas the next time you make it:

• Fresh fruits: Chop up some mango, pineapple, kiwi fruit or apples.

• Different berries: Such as raspberries and blackberries.

• Chopped Nuts: Pistachios, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts or walnuts will add extra crunch.

• Sweet drizzles: Honey, melted chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra layer of lusciousness.

• Dried fruits: Sprinkle over some dried cranberries, sultanas, apricots or pineapple for added natural sweetness.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

• Full-fat Vanilla Greek Yogurt: Can be substituted with regular full-fat vanilla yogurt. To make it dairy-free, use vanilla coconut yogurt. Greek yogurt freezes with fewer ice crystals than regular yogurt as it contains less water. Both work well though.

• Fresh strawberries: As you need to slice them, using fresh instead of frozen is easier. If you cannot get fresh, use frozen strawberries but try and cut them into smaller pieces/slices if you can, or substitute them for frozen raspberries.

• Granola: Any granola you have on hand or like will work. If you don’t have granola, substitute it for toasted coconut flakes, oats or a mixture of chopped nuts or seeds.

🥣 How To Make Frozen Yogurt Bars (with photos)

There is a full and detailed recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Step one: In a small mixing bowl, mix together the yogurt and chocolate chips. Spread it out in an even layer on the lined pan, right to the edges with a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon. 

Step three: Top the yogurt with the sliced strawberries, frozen blueberries and sprinkle over the granola. Freeze for 4+ hours or overnight until solid and completely frozen. Remove from freezer, slice into bars and enjoy!

Expert Tips

• Use parchment paper or silicone mat: To prevent the bars from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This makes it easier to remove the bark once it’s fully frozen.

• Slice it into bars straight from the freezer: Once frozen, take it out of the freezer and immediately cut it into bars. Do not let it sit for too long as it will begin to melt, making it difficult to slice.

Can I use dairy-free yogurt?

Absolutely! Plain or vanilla coconut yogurt works beautifully! I have not tested this recipe using other alternatives such as soy yogurt or oat yogurt.

Can I leave out the chocolate chips?

Of course, you can! Simply do not add the chocolate chips to the yogurt. Instead, go ahead and spread the yogurt straight out onto the lined baking sheet and add the toppings.

Storage Instructions

Store yogurt bars in a freezer-friendly airtight container or zip-lock bags. Keep them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

If you have multiple layers of the bars in one container, separate them with a sheet of parchment paper to prevent the pieces from sticking together.

These are best enjoyed within a couple of weeks of being stored. While it can be stored for longer, the texture and taste may deteriorate over time.
