Ingredients
Method
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Aim for a rimmed sheet so nothing spills. Set aside. Clear space in your freezer for the tray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, keto sweetener, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of sea salt. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Remember, flavors dull slightly when frozen.
- Spread the yogurt mixture onto the parchment-lined sheet in an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. Use a spatula to smooth the surface.
- Scatter the sliced strawberries evenly over the top. Press them gently into the yogurt so they adhere.
- Add any optional toppings you like—chopped nuts for crunch, shredded coconut for texture, or a light sprinkle of chia seeds for fiber. Keep toppings fairly small so the bark breaks cleanly later.
- If using chocolate, either sprinkle sugar-free chips now or melt sugar-free dark chocolate and drizzle thin zigzags over the surface.
- Place the tray flat in the freezer and freeze for 2–4 hours, or until completely firm.
- Once frozen, lift the bark by the parchment and place it on a cutting board. Break it into pieces by hand or use a sharp knife for cleaner squares.
- Transfer pieces to a freezer-safe container or bag. Keep frozen until ready to eat.

Storage Instructions
- Freezer: Store bark in an airtight container or zip-top freezer bag for up to 2 months. Place parchment between layers to prevent sticking.

Benefits of This Recipe
- Keto-friendly macros: Full-fat yogurt and low-carb sweetener help keep net carbs down.
- Protein and fat balance: Supports satiety, making it a smart snack between meals.
- Real-food ingredients: No artificial flavors or mystery additives when you choose clean yogurt and berries.
- Flexible for dietary needs: You can make it dairy-free or nut-free with simple swaps.
- Kid-approved: A fun, colorful, frozen snack that feels like a treat.
What Not to Do
- Don’t use low-fat or fat-free yogurt if you want to keep it keto and creamy.
Full-fat provides better texture and flavor.
- Don’t pour the layer too thick. Thick bark takes longer to freeze and can become icy. Aim for about 1/4 inch.
- Don’t overload with watery fruit. Strawberries are fine, but avoid large chunks or too many high-water fruits, which can make the bark icy.
- Don’t skip the taste test. Sweetness drops a bit when frozen. Adjust before spreading on the tray.
- Don’t leave it at room temperature. It melts fast.
Serve straight from the freezer.
Recipe Variations
- Berry Swap: Use raspberries or blackberries (cut in halves). They’re lower in carbs than many fruits and add great color.
- Lemon Cheesecake Bark: Mix in 2–3 ounces softened cream cheese with the yogurt, plus lemon zest and a bit of lemon juice. Sweeten to taste.
- Chocolate-Strawberry: Stir 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder into the yogurt and sweeten a touch more.
Top with strawberries and a chocolate drizzle.
- Nut Crunch: Add chopped roasted almonds or pecans and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a sweet-salty bite.
- Coconut Crunch: Stir in unsweetened shredded coconut and a few hemp hearts for extra texture and healthy fats.
- Dairy-Free: Use a thick, unsweetened coconut yogurt and sweeten with allulose or monk fruit. Add vanilla and a squeeze of lime for brightness.
- Protein Boost: Whisk in a scoop of unflavored or vanilla low-carb whey or egg white protein. Add a splash of water or almond milk if it gets too thick.
FAQ
Is Greek yogurt keto?
Greek yogurt can fit into a keto or low-carb diet in moderate portions.
Choose full-fat, unsweetened Greek yogurt to keep carbs lower and improve satiety. Check the label—carbs can vary by brand.
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek?
You can, but the bark may be softer and icier since regular yogurt has more whey and less protein. Straining regular yogurt through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth can help thicken it.
Which sweetener works best?
Allulose and monk fruit blends freeze well and have a clean taste.
Erythritol can sometimes crystallize slightly, but it still works. Powdered versions blend more smoothly than granulated.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes. Let them thaw slightly and pat dry before slicing.
Removing excess moisture helps prevent icy spots.
How do I prevent the bark from sticking?
Always use parchment paper. After freezing, lift the parchment out, then break or cut the bark. If stacking pieces, separate layers with parchment.
How many carbs are in a serving?
It depends on your yogurt, sweetener, and toppings.
As a rough estimate, a piece made with full-fat unsweetened Greek yogurt, strawberries, and keto sweetener lands around 3–5g net carbs per serving. Always calculate with your exact ingredients.
Can I make this ahead for parties?
Absolutely. Make it the day before, break into pieces, and store in a covered container.
Serve straight from the freezer on a lined platter.
Why does it taste less sweet when frozen?
Cold temperatures dull sweetness. That’s why it’s important to sweeten just a touch more than you would for unfrozen yogurt.
What if I don’t like strawberries?
Swap in raspberries, blackberries, or even a few blueberries. You can also skip fruit and add nuts, seeds, and a chocolate drizzle for a lower-carb version.
Can I make it nut-free?
Yes.
Skip the nuts and use seeds like chia, hemp, or pumpkin seeds. Always check chocolate and yogurt labels for potential cross-contamination if allergies are severe.

Frozen Keto Strawberry Yogurt Bark is one of those recipes that’s almost too easy. It looks pretty, tastes bright and creamy, and fits right into a low-carb day without fuss.
