Frozen Yoghurt Bark (TM5)
Frozen yoghurt bark is a refreshing dessert made with creamy Greek yoghurt, sweet strawberries and a hint of vanilla sugar. The Thermomix TM7 weighs, chops and blends everything quickly, so you get a silky, fruit-flecked mixture ready for the freezer in minutes. Ideal for hot summer days.
About this recipe
Frozen Yoghurt Bark Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate no-fuss summer dessert, and one of the easiest frozen yoghurt recipes you will make in your all-in-one kitchen machine. Greek yoghurt is stirred together with caster sugar and vanilla sugar until silky, then spread onto a tray and studded with bright strawberry pieces before a spell in the freezer. The result is a cool, creamy slab that snaps into rustic shards, streaked with ruby fruit and tasting tangy-sweet rather than heavy like ice cream. Because the Thermomix TM7 weighs the yoghurt directly into the bowl and chops the strawberries to an even size in seconds, the preparation takes barely ten minutes of active work. It is a brilliant make-ahead dessert for barbecues, children's parties or a light weeknight treat, and a great way to use up a glut of summer strawberries. Once you have mastered the basic bark, the format invites endless seasonal variations with other berries or fruit.
Preparation tips
- Pat the strawberries dry before chopping them, so excess juice does not water down the Greek yoghurt base; wet fruit leads to icy patches instead of a creamy, scoopable bark texture.
- Line your tray or tin with baking parchment leaving an overhang on two sides, which turns the frozen yoghurt bark into an easy lift-out slab that breaks cleanly into shards for serving.
- Take the bark out of the freezer five minutes before serving and let children smash it into pieces with the back of a spoon; a fun moment that also gives softer, easier biting texture.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the Greek yoghurt with a thick coconut or soy-based yoghurt alternative and keep the strawberries and vanilla sugar, producing a plant-based bark with the same creamy snap.
- Festive winter version: swap the strawberries for clementine segments, pomegranate seeds and a dusting of finely chopped dark chocolate over the vanilla yoghurt base for a colourful holiday dessert.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- Weighing the Greek yoghurt directly in the mixing bowl saves using separate kitchen scales, keeping the bark base quantities accurate to the gram.
- The TM7 chops the strawberries into even pieces in seconds, distributing fruit neatly through the yoghurt instead of uneven hand-cut chunks.
- Grinding your own vanilla sugar with the blades gives the bark a fresher, more aromatic flavour than store-bought sachets ever could.
- The Thermomix whips air into the yoghurt mixture, creating a lighter bark that freezes with a pleasantly creamy rather than rock-hard texture.
- Mixing the caster sugar through the yoghurt takes moments and dissolves the grains fully, so every shard of bark tastes evenly sweet.
