ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the base:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

For the yogurt layer:

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the raspberry swirl:

1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey or sugar

Toppings:

1/4 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons crumble or granola for texture (optional)

directions

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar (if using). Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to create an even base.
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread evenly over the crust.
In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, lemon juice, and honey (or sugar). Cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, mashing gently as it simmers, until it forms a thick compote.
Let the raspberry mixture cool slightly, then spoon over the yogurt and gently swirl with a knife or skewer.
Sprinkle the top with whole fresh raspberries and optional crumble or granola.
Freeze for 3–4 hours, or until completely set.
Once firm, remove from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into bars or pieces.
Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the freezer.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain or vanilla?

Yes, flavored yogurts like raspberry or honey vanilla can enhance the taste, but reduce added sweeteners to avoid over-sweetening.

How do I keep the crust from crumbling?

Press it firmly into the pan and ensure the butter is well-distributed throughout the graham crumbs.

Can I skip the crust entirely?

Yes, you can make this as a crustless yogurt bark on a lined baking sheet instead of in a pan.

Can I use frozen raspberries?

Yes, both fresh and frozen raspberries work well. Just ensure frozen raspberries are simmered to release excess moisture.

What kind of granola or crumble is best for topping?

Any lightly sweetened granola or a simple homemade oat crumble adds great texture. Avoid overly hard granolas.

How long can I store this bark?

It keeps well in the freezer for up to 2 weeks when properly stored in an airtight container.

Can kids help make this recipe?

Absolutely — it’s a no-bake recipe and very child-friendly, especially swirling the fruit and spreading toppings.

Can I use other fruits instead of raspberries?

Yes, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, or even cherries work well for the swirl or topping.

Is this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes, if you use gluten-free graham crackers or omit the crust entirely.

Can I make this recipe in a larger pan?

You can double the ingredients for a 9×13-inch pan. Just ensure it fits in your freezer and adjust the freezing time as needed.
