Why This is a Perfect Balanced Treat

Quick: Just 5 minutes of hands-on time! Mix your base, spread it on a pan, add your toppings, and let the freezer do the rest. Perfect for busy weeknights when you need a dessert win without the fuss.
Affordable: Every ingredient is budget-friendly and easy to find at any grocery store. At under $8 total, you’ll get 6 generous servings that cost less than a single fancy frozen yogurt shop treat.
Delicious: The combination of tangy Greek yogurt, sweet cream cheese, juicy berries, and crunchy crackers creates the ultimate texture and flavor experience. Each bite is creamy, fruity, and satisfying—you won’t believe it’s healthy!
Key Healthy Swaps & Tips
Greek Yogurt: The star of this recipe! Greek yogurt brings double the protein of regular yogurt (about 10g per serving in the plain variety) while keeping calories in check. It’s also loaded with probiotics that support digestive health. We love using plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt so you control the sweetness level.
Honey Instead of Refined Sugar: A tablespoon of honey goes a long way, providing natural sweetness along with trace minerals and antioxidants. Unlike refined sugar, honey adds depth of flavor and keeps the recipe truly wholesome. Feel free to swap with maple syrup or agave if you prefer!
How to Make Frozen Yogurt Bark
This recipe couldn’t be simpler. Start by grabbing a medium mixing bowl and combining your Greek yogurt with softened light cream cheese. Use a whisk or spatula to blend them together until completely smooth—no lumps allowed! The cream cheese adds richness and helps create that perfect “bark” texture once frozen.
Drizzle in your honey and whisk again until everything is beautifully combined and glossy. The mixture should be thick but spreadable, almost like a thick frosting.
Line a baking sheet (or any shallow dish) with parchment paper—this is crucial for easy removal later. Pour your yogurt mixture onto the sheet and use a spatula to spread it out evenly into a thin layer, about ¼-inch thick. The thinner you spread it, the easier it will be to break into perfect bark pieces.
Now for the fun part: topping time! Arrange fresh strawberry slices and blueberries all over the surface, pressing them slightly into the yogurt so they stick. Finally, sprinkle crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers on top for that irresistible crunch factor.
Slide your pan into the freezer and let it set for 6-8 hours, or overnight if you’re planning ahead. Once completely frozen and firm, remove the bark from the pan, peel off the parchment paper, and break it into rustic pieces. Store any leftovers in a freezer-safe container between layers of parchment paper.
Grab a piece straight from the freezer and enjoy immediately—it’s the perfect afternoon snack, post-dinner treat, or anytime you need a sweet, refreshing pick-me-up!
