Storage

This frozen yogurt needs to stay in the freezer or it will begin to melt. Just store in an airtight container and keep in the freezer.

We find that keeping it pushed back on the shelf helps ensure it stays nice and frozen.

Expert Tips and Variations

  • Use any style of yogurt you want in terms of flavor. We find whipped yogurts don’t freeze up great.
  • If you use a flavored yogurt you can leave out the maple syrup if you would like.
  • Make your bark as thick or thin as you would like.
  • Once the bark is fully frozen cut it up and place in an airtight container.

Practical notes

What to do with yogurt that is about to expire?

Make yogurt bark. Or freeze yogurt in ice cube trays and once frozen transfer to freezer bags. Use these yogurt cubes for smoothies.

How long does it take yogurt to freeze?

Depending on the thickness it can freeze in around 2 hours or longer. If the yogurt is pretty thick aim for around 6 hours or so. Our yogurt bark was frozen around the 3-4 hour mark.

How to make protein frozen yogurt bark?

Greek yogurt adds protein to this recipe. If you want you can add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to stir in to make protein frozen yogurt bark!

Can we just freeze yogurt?

The one thing to know is freezing yogurt can alter the texture of the yogurt. We recommend using frozen yogurt as a bark like this or mixing in smoothies.We would not freeze a container and then expect to dish it up and eat like classic yogurt.

Flavor of Yogurt – we used plain yogurt, but you are welcome to use a flavored yogurt if you want. If you use flavored you might want to use less syrup.
