Easy Summer Berries Yogurt Bark

Last week, my granddaughter Emma came over asking for “something cold and sweet but not too naughty.” I was staring at a container of Greek yogurt and a bowl of gorgeous berries when inspiration struck – Summer Berries Yogurt Bark!

You know how sometimes the simplest ideas become the most brilliant? I mixed creamy yogurt with honey, spread it on a pan, and topped it with fresh strawberries and blueberries.

The result was pure magic – a frozen treat that tastes indulgent but makes you feel good about every bite.

I’ve been making frozen treats for decades, and this Summer Berries Yogurt Bark has become my go-to recipe when you want something refreshing without the guilt.

Ingredients You Need for Summer Berries Yogurt Bark

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful frozen treat:

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (I prefer full-fat for richness, but you can use low-fat)
• 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup – both work beautifully)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla makes such a difference!)
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (choose the ripest ones you can find)
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (frozen work too if fresh aren’t available)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes (optional, but adds lovely texture)

Pro tip: The quality of your yogurt really matters here. I always choose thick Greek yogurt because it creates the perfect creamy base for our Summer Berries Yogurt Bark.

If your yogurt seems thin, strain it through cheesecloth for 30 minutes first.

How to Make Summer Berries Yogurt Bark

Creating this frozen delight is wonderfully simple – perfect for cooking with little helpers!

1. Prepare your pan: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure it has sides – trust me, you don’t want yogurt escaping into your freezer!
2. Mix the base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla until smooth and well combined. I like to taste at this point – you want it just sweet enough to make you smile.
3. Spread evenly: Pour the yogurt mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and spread it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Use an offset spatula if you have one – it makes the job so much easier.
4. Add the magic: Scatter your sliced strawberries and blueberries evenly across the surface. Sprinkle with coconut flakes if using. The colors are absolutely gorgeous!
5. Freeze to perfection: Place in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until completely firm. I usually make mine in the evening and enjoy it the next day.
6. Break and serve: Once frozen solid, break or cut into pieces and serve immediately. The Summer Berries Yogurt Bark is ready to bring smiles to everyone!

How I Make This Summer Berries Yogurt Bark Perfect Every Time

After making countless batches, I’ve learned that the secret to perfect Summer Berries Yogurt Bark is patience and the right thickness.

Don’t spread it too thin – you want substantial pieces that won’t break apart. I always let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving; it makes breaking it into pieces so much easier.

And here’s my favorite trick: if you’re having guests, break it into pieces ahead of time and store them in a freezer bag.

You’ll look like a prepared hostess when you effortlessly serve perfect portions!

How long does yogurt bark last in the freezer?

Your Summer Berries Yogurt Bark will keep beautifully in the freezer for up to 3 months when stored in an airtight container.

I use freezer-safe bags, but any sealed container works perfectly. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper if stacking.

Can I use different berries or fruits?

Absolutely! I’ve made versions with raspberries, blackberries, and even diced peaches. Any fruit that doesn’t release too much juice works wonderfully.

Just pat wet fruits dry before adding them to prevent ice crystals from forming.

What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?

Regular yogurt works, but I recommend straining it first to remove excess liquid.

You can also use dairy-free yogurt alternatives – just choose a thick, creamy variety for the best texture in your bark.

Can I make this less sweet?

Of course! Start with just 1-2 tablespoons of honey and adjust to taste. The natural sweetness of the berries often provides enough flavor, especially when they’re perfectly ripe.

I’d love for you to save this recipe and share it with your family! You can find this Summer Berries Yogurt Bark and all my other beloved recipes on my Pinterest. I’m always pinning new ideas and seasonal treats that bring joy to the kitchen.
