Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 2% or higher (Greek yogurt, not regular yogurt)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries, diced, divided
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well mixed.
  2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the yogurt mixture evenly into a single layer using a spatula. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Quickly fold 3/4 of the diced strawberries into the melted chocolate to combine before it starts to harden.
  5. Step 5: Spread the chocolate-strawberry mixture over the yogurt layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining diced strawberries on top, along with a pinch or two of flaky sea salt, if using.
  6. Step 6: Freeze the assembled bark for at least 4 hours or until completely hardened.
  7. Step 7: Once frozen, cut or break the bark into pieces. Store in a freezer-safe container or bag until ready to enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • Swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a different fruit twist.
  • Add chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the chocolate layer for extra crunch.
  • If you don’t have coconut oil, use a small amount of butter or leave it out, though the chocolate may be less glossy.
  • For a sweeter bark, drizzle additional maple syrup over the top before freezing.

Storage

Store the Greek yogurt bark pieces in an airtight, freezer-safe container or bag. Keep frozen for up to 2 weeks for best taste and texture. To enjoy, let the bark sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before eating, or enjoy straight from the freezer for a refreshing cold treat.

How to Serve

A white plate lined with light brown parchment paper holds several pieces of marble chocolate bark. Each piece has a swirling mix of creamy white and dark brown chocolate, topped with scattered small red strawberry chunks and sprinkled with coarse sea salt. Two whole fresh strawberries with green leaves sit on the plate beside the bark. The plate is placed on a white marbled textured surface with a beige cloth in the top left corner. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, which helps the bark set properly. Regular yogurt is too thin and watery, so it’s best to stick with Greek yogurt for this recipe.

How do I prevent the chocolate from hardening too quickly?

When mixing the strawberries into the melted chocolate, work quickly and fold gently. Keep the chocolate warm by microwaving in short bursts and stirring thoroughly before adding the fruit.
