Lately I am loving the easy ~5 ingredients recipes (like this banana pudding) that can be whipped up at a moment’s notice. As the weather gets warmer, I want to spend less time in the kitchen, so quick recipes are where it’s at. This cheesecake frozen yogurt bark is a 5-ingredient, 5 minute recipe that you can whip up as a snack, dessert, for a party, etc. It’s creamy, fruity, crunchy, and hits the spot when you want ice cream without eating ice cream.
Making strawberry cheesecake frozen yogurt bark
I made this bark with ingredients that I pretty much always have on hand. It’s also a great recipe that you can customize to fit your tastes and what you have in your fridge. I made it with:
- Nonfat greek yogurt (you can use any yogurt, but I love nonfat greek yogurt because it’s creamy, thick, and high in protein)
- Vanilla extract (skip this if you use vanilla flavored yogurt)
- Agave nectar to sweeten it (you can use honey or maple syrup as well)
- Strawberries, diced (you can use any fruit really – I’ve made this with blueberries, raspberries, etc)
- Crushed nilla wafers to give it some crunch and act as the cheesecake ‘crust’ flavor (you can substitute graham crackers, oreos, chocolate chips, nuts, etc – anything to add some texture!)
Simply mix everything up, spread it into an even flat layer on parchment paper (make sure it’s on a plate or board that you can transport). Pop it in the freezer for an hour or two until its totally solid. Then, just break it up into large chunks and store it in the freezer. Whenever you want a sweet treat, grab a chunk!

I made this bark yesterday for a quick dessert and it was really easy and turned out delicious. As an ice cream lover, this is a great option when you want something lighter. Also totally has the flavor of strawberry cheesecake! I was out of vanilla extract so substituted almond extract – super good!
