Ingredients
Yogurt base and toppings
- 600 g plain 2% Greek yogurt pasteurized, thick; keep refrigerated until needed
- 30 g pure maple syrup about 1 1/2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 ml
- 120 g strawberries hulled and cut into thin slices, about 1/8 inch / 3 mm
- 75 g blueberries halve very large berries
- 25 g mini dark chocolate chips or finely chopped dark chocolate
Equipment
- Large rimmed baking sheet that fits level in the freezer
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowl and spatula
- Kitchen scale
- Freezer-safe airtight container
Instructions
- Clear a level space in a freezer kept at 0°F (−18°C) or below. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Rinse berries under running water, drain and dry thoroughly with a clean towel. Hull and slice strawberries thinly; halve very large blueberries.
- Stir Greek yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth. Spread on the parchment into a rectangle about 10 × 16 inches (25 × 40 cm), about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Keep the thickness even rather than spreading very thin edges around a thick center. If the tray will not fit, divide the mixture between smaller lined trays while keeping the same layer thickness.
- Scatter strawberry slices, blueberries and chocolate chips evenly over the yogurt, leaving a little yogurt visible between toppings. Press them gently into the surface. Cover loosely without touching the yogurt and freeze at least 4 hours, until fully firm and brittle. Freezer temperature, layer thickness and fruit affect the time.
- Lift the frozen sheet by the parchment and break into about 12 similar-sized pieces. For more comparable portions, divide the whole frozen batch by weight into 12. Serve a few pieces straight from the freezer; let an individual piece stand briefly if too hard to bite. It softens quickly.
- Immediately pack the remaining pieces in an airtight freezer-safe container with parchment between layers. Keep at 0°F (−18°C) and plan to use within 2 weeks for a fresher texture. Take out only what you will eat. Do not save perishable portions left out more than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).

Notes
Contains milk; chocolate may contain additional allergens. Yogurt texture and nutrition vary by brand and fat level. A sweetened flavored yogurt adds sugar not included here. Full-fat Greek yogurt makes a richer version; thin conventional yogurt or nonfat yogurt may be icier. All stated times are estimates; freeze until the center is fully firm.
Estimated nutrition per twelfth of the entire measured batch: 2% Greek yogurt 600 g about 438 kcal; maple syrup 30 g about 78; vanilla about 12; strawberries 120 g about 38; blueberries 75 g about 43; dark chips 25 g about 125. Total about 834 / 12 = 70 kcal. Representative USDA and label values, rounded; uneven shards, product labels and toppings change the result.
Portioned US retail cost assumptions, not a live quote: yogurt $3.50, strawberries $0.70, blueberries $0.65, maple syrup $0.45, vanilla $0.15, chocolate $0.30 = $5.75 / 12 = approximately $0.48. Water and freezer energy excluded; local prices vary.
Instructional video by Gemma Stafford / Bigger Bolder Baking, originally published July 9, 2026, demonstrates the thin yogurt-base, topping, freezing and breaking method in five flavors. Her base uses full-fat Greek yogurt and different proportions, with toppings including shortbread, lemon curd, nut butter and other flavor combinations. This card uses 2% plain Greek yogurt, measured strawberries, blueberries and mini dark chocolate chips, without those other toppings. Follow this card's ingredient quantities and portion estimate.
