Strawberry Shortcake Frozen Yogurt Bark
This refreshing and nutritious treat captures the essence of summer in every bite.
This delish recipe is super simple and quick to make. It’s the ideal solution for a light dessert, a mid-day snack, or a post-workout pick-me-up. For the base, I use a creamy, protein-packed strawberry Greek yogurt and bedazzle it with fresh, juicy strawberries and crumbled graham cracker for a (sort of) classic shortcake feel.
Every bite is like a burst of sweet sunshine – trust me, you’re going to be hooked! 🍓🍰

Strawberry Shortcake Frozen Yogurt Bark
This refreshing and nutritious treat captures the essence of summer in every bite.
Ingredients
- 32 ounces 2% strawberry Greek yogurt, 4 cups
- 1 cup sliced, chopped strawberries
- 4 graham cracker sheets, crumbled and crushed
Instructions
- Line a (~18 x 13) baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the yogurt on top, and using a spatula or the back of a spoon, smooth the mixture so it’s evenly distributed on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Add the strawberry pieces throughout the top, separating any clumps that arise, so only single slices are touching the yogurt. Sprinkle the graham cracker over the top and gently pat with fingers to set toppings.
- Place in the freezer for at least 3 hours to set. Remove the baking sheet, break the strawberry bark into pieces, and transfer to a freezer bag (this is a more efficient way to store your bark since the baking sheet takes up so much space). Enjoy each piece straight from the freezer, as the yogurt starts to melt pretty fast.
Notes
The yogurt
• Be sure to scrape all the yogurt from the 32-ounce container to spread on your baking sheet – you’ll need it for a nice thick layer.
• I like to use 2% reduced-fat, strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt. While a nonfat (0%) Greek yogurt will also work, I find the nonfat varieties become icier and less creamy when frozen into bark.
• I prefer to buy brands without added sugar, like Oikos Pro and Too Good & Co., which are each sweetened with stevia. Freezing and storage
• Place in the freezer for at least 3 hours to set. Remove the baking sheet, break it up into pieces, and transfer to a freezer bag (this is a more efficient way to store since the baking sheet takes up so much space). Enjoy each piece straight from the freezer—as the yogurt starts to melt pretty fast! If you’re feeding a crowd, place the pieces on a platter at the very last minute and serve when everyone is ready to dig in. Baking sheet prep
• Here, I use a standard half-sheet (18-by-13 inches) but if you only have a quarter-sheet (13-by-9 inches), simply half the recipe.
• Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper so the yogurt doesn’t stick, and you can easily remove the frozen bark.

Joy,
I can’t find 2% strawberry yogurt. I can only find non fat or full fat. Who makes 2%? Suggestions or substitutions please ?
Thanks Ronnie
Hi Ronnie. For this recipe, Joy likes the no-sugar (2%) brands such as “Oikos Pro” and “Too Good & Co.,” both of which offer a strawberry-flavored yogurt. You can find these online and at many large supermarkets.
There are plenty of other brands that offer a strawberry-flavored 2% yogurt but are made with sugar, and need be, that’s fine, too (you’re still getting the protein and calcium). In this case, look for Siggi and Fage.
If you can’t find any of these in your local grocery store, you can always use a full-fat or non-fat version. The nonfat version will just be a bit less creamy than the 2%; and the full-fat will have a bit more fat and calories.
Hoping you get to try the recipe soon!!

Thank you!

What about using Blueberries
Hi Patricia! Blueberries will work beautifully!
Thank you
Joy, My grand daughter is dairy free. Can I use her coconut milk yogurt to make this recipe? Thanks, Lisa
Hi Lisa! Yes… coconut milk yogurt can absolutely work here. Just keep in mind, the texture may freeze a bit icier compared to the 2% Greek yogurt, which stays creamier because of the protein and fat content (coconut yogurts have much less protein). I’d suggest using a thicker coconut yogurt for the best result. It’ll still be a fun, fruity, refreshing treat your granddaughter can enjoy!! If you try it…. please let me know how it turns out! xx
