Yogurt has been around for thousands of years. It was developed in India about 5,000 years ago when they had yogurt for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

But frozen yogurt was not invented until the 1970s. It was H. P. Hood who started the trend and called it Frogurt. And candy bark was invented by accident when someone’s chocolate candy melted and cooled again. But they are not sure who it was.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to freeze?

Depending on how thick your yogurt bark is and what it is made with, it can take anywhere from two to four hours. If you use yogurt with high fat or cream, it will take longer than one that is low fat. Also, those with more sugar will take longer to freeze. The good thing is that it will also take longer to melt.

How can I prevent ice crystals?

Adding sugar is one way to prevent ice crystals. The sugar crystals slow down the formation of the ice crystals. Of course, this will also make it less healthy. But it will still be delicious. You could try sugar substitutes like Splenda or Stevia.

How can I make frozen yogurt like ice cream?

One of the easiest ways is to use an ice cream maker. Just whisk together yogurt, heavy cream, and honey or sugar. Then, churn it in your ice cream machine. Make sure the bowl is frozen for 24 hours first or your frozen yogurt will be slushy. No machine? No problem. Just remove it and stir it every hour until it is hard enough to serve.

What flavors of yogurt and toppings go well together?

Some ideas are healthier than others and you can even make savory yogurt bark with plain Greek yogurt and nuts, cheese, or bacon.

How long can I freeze yogurt bark?

If you wrap it well, you can keep frozen yogurt bark for up to three months. The best way is to wrap it in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, and then put it in freezer bags. This will keep leftovers frozen without having to worry about any ice crystals forming.

Recipe tips:

Shorten prep time by using frozen or precut fruit pieces instead of cutting your own fresh fruit.
Use mini chocolate chips for easier melted chocolate.
If you do not have fresh berries or fruit, you can use frozen fruit. After all, it is going to freeze anyway.
You can cut frozen yogurt bark with a large knife, or pizza cutter. Or just break it into irregular pieces to make it look like bark.
It is best to use full-fat Greek yogurt, full-fat yogurt, or whole-milk yogurt for the best results. Low-fat yogurt just does not set as well.
Use a rimmed baking sheet or baking tray so your parchment paper does not slide off when moving it.
