Description
These easy, no-bake chocolate-covered strawberry yogurt bark bites combine creamy Greek yogurt, juicy strawberries, and a snappy chocolate drizzle for a refreshing, healthy-ish treat. Perfect for summer gatherings, after-school snacks, or a light dessert straight from the freezer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup (or agave for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 heaping cup fresh strawberries, diced small (about ½-inch pieces)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
- ⅔ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or neutral oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped roasted almonds, pistachios, or walnuts (optional)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet (about 9×13-inch) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Dice strawberries into small, bite-size pieces. If using sugar, toss strawberries with sugar in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes, then drain excess juice.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Pour yogurt mixture onto the lined tray and spread into an even layer about ¼-inch thick. Scatter diced strawberries evenly over the top, pressing them in gently. For a swirl effect, drag a toothpick or knife through the strawberries and yogurt.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy (or melt gently on the stove in a double boiler).
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the yogurt and strawberries using a spoon or zip-top bag with the corner snipped. Sprinkle on nuts, coconut, or flaky salt if desired.
- Place tray flat in the freezer and freeze until solid, about 2-3 hours.
- Once frozen, lift bark out using the parchment and break or cut into pieces (about 2-inch squares or triangles).
- Store bark bites in an airtight container in the freezer, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Notes
Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture. Cut strawberries small to avoid icy bites. Work quickly when assembling as yogurt starts to freeze fast. For vegan or dairy-free, use coconut or almond yogurt and vegan chocolate chips. Bark thaws quickly, so only take out what you’ll eat right away. Store in freezer for up to 2 months.
