These frozen yoghurt bars make a delicious treat or simple dessert perfect for cooling down on a hot day. They are so simple to make and kids love them!
Beat the heat with these delicious and easy-to-make frozen yoghurt bars! Packed with creamy yoghurt (I have used dairy-free coconut yoghurt), fresh fruit, and a hint of sweetness, these bars are the perfect summer indulgence.
Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or just looking for a tasty way to cool down, these frozen yoghurt bars are sure to be a hit. They do melt quickly so can be a good idea to get kids to eat them outside.
Key Ingredients
Super versatile these frozen yoghurt bars can be made with the yoghurt and/or fruit of your choice.
- Yoghurt of your choice. For this recipe, I have used vanilla bean coconut yoghurt. This gives the yoghurt a creamy vanilla flavour without the need to add extra sweeteners. If you use plain Greek yoghurt you might like to stir in some honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness and 1 tspn of vanilla extract for vanilla flavour.
- Berries - I have used blueberries and strawberries for the yoghurt bars. You could use other berries or any fruit of your choice such as chopped nectarines, or apricots.
- Chopped nuts, I used almonds. Walnuts or pistachios also work well.
- Shredded coconut or coconut flakes.
Step-By-Step Instructions
- Line a shallow rectangular baking tray (38cm x 26cm, 15inch x 10inch) with baking or parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Spread the coconut yoghurt evenly along the base of the tray. If you are using Greek yoghurt and are adding sweetener and vanilla extract then mix this until combined in a bowl before spreading the yoghurt along the tray.
- Place the chopped fruit and nuts evenly along the top of the yoghurt layer. Sprinkle coconut flakes across the top.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap, aluminium foil or just a tea towel, and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the yoghurt mixture is fully set.
- Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Lift the frozen yoghurt block using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the block into individual bars or squares.
- Serve immediately or keep the bars covered in the freezer. If you wish to put them in a container then place a layer of baking or parchment paper between them to stop them sticking together.
