Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh strawberries, divided (½ cup for blending, ½ cup sliced for topping)
¼ cup honey
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
¼ cup whole raw pistachios

Directions

Line a 13 × 9-inch (or similar) baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor or blender, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, ½ cup of the strawberries, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until smooth, about 10–15 seconds.
Pour the yogurt mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it evenly using an offset spatula.
Arrange the remaining sliced strawberries on top, then sprinkle the pistachios over.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until fully firm, about 2 hours.
Remove from freezer, cut into 12 pieces, and serve frozen.

Servings and timing

Yield: 12 pieces
Prep time: 15 minutes
Freeze time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Variations

Use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of nonfat for a creamier texture
Substitute dairy-free thick yogurt to make it vegan
Swap honey for agave nectar or maple syrup
Change the nuts — almonds, walnuts or pecans work well
Use different fruit: mango, blueberries, raspberries
Add mix-ins: chocolate chips, granola, coconut flakes
After freezing, drizzle melted chocolate over the bark and refreeze

Storage/Reheating

Keep the bark stored in the freezer in an airtight container or ziplock bag, layered between parchment to prevent sticking. It holds well for up to 3 months. Serve frozen — it will soften at room temperature, so avoid reheating.

FAQs

What type of yogurt is best for yogurt bark?

A thick yogurt like Greek yogurt (full-fat or nonfat) yields the best consistency. Yogurts with more water content may freeze icier.

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain?

Yes, but flavored yogurt often has extra sugar. If you use it, you may want to reduce or omit the honey.

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

You can, but drain excess liquid before using or thaw and pat dry to avoid watery texture.

Is it possible to make smaller or larger batches?

Absolutely. Just scale the ingredients proportionally and adjust your pan size.

Can I add chocolate chips or other mix-ins?

Yes — sprinkle chocolate chips, granola, or other toppings over the bark before freezing.

What if I don’t have pistachios?

Feel free to substitute with almonds, walnuts, peanuts, or leave nuts out entirely.

Will the bark melt quickly when serving?

Yes, since it’s essentially frozen yogurt. Serve immediately or keep in the freezer until just before serving.

How do I cut the bark cleanly?

Use a sharp knife that’s been chilled or warmed slightly under hot water (then dried) for smooth cuts.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes — freeze fully, then store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

What if the bark is too hard to bite?

Let it sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes before eating so it softens just enough to cut or bite.
