Ingredients You’ll Need
The magic of Peach Melba Yogurt Bark lies in its simplicity! Each ingredient brings its own burst of color, creamy texture, or bright, summery flavor, and together they transform into an irresistibly cool, crunchy treat. Here’s what you’ll need and why it matters:
- siggi’s 0% peach skyr: This ultra-thick, creamy skyr delivers classic peachy sweetness and a satisfying tang.

- siggi’s 0% vanilla skyr: Smooth, subtly sweet vanilla yogurt swirls beautifully with the fruit flavors and makes every bite balanced.

The beauty of Peach Melba Yogurt Bark is just how adaptable it is—feel free to play around with flavors or toppings to suit your mood, your pantry, or your dietary needs. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Mixed Berries Delight: Swap the peach and raspberry yogurts for blueberry or strawberry and scatter a medley of fresh berries for a summer berry twist.
- Dairy-Free: Use your favorite thick plant-based yogurt and vegan toppings for a bark that’s totally dairy-free but just as creamy and dreamy.
- Chocolate Crunch: Sprinkle mini dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs over the top for a decadent touch and a lovely snap once frozen.
- Tropical Spin: Use mango and coconut yogurt, add thinly sliced mango and a dusting of toasted coconut flakes for a tropical getaway right in your freezer.
How to Make Peach Melba Yogurt Bark
Step 1: Prepare Your Base
Start by lining a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. This not only makes for easy cleanup but guarantees your bark won’t stick when it’s time to break it into pieces. Trust me—don’t skip this detail!
Step 2: Swirl the Yogurts
Stir each cup of yogurt (peach, raspberry, and vanilla) to loosen them up. Dollop the yogurts in alternating patches over your lined tray. Take an offset spatula or the back of a spoon and create gorgeous, marbled swirls—don’t over-mix, you want to keep those distinct ribbons of color and flavor shining bright!
Step 3: Add Fruit and Garnishes
Press thin slices of fresh peach and scatter plenty of juicy raspberries over the yogurt layer, nestling them gently so they stay put during freezing. For extra prettiness and crunch, finish with a sprinkle of bee pollen and chopped nuts if you like—it’s not just delicious, it’s practically art!
Step 4: Freeze and Break
Slide your tray into the freezer and give it several hours (about 3-4) to freeze solid. Once your bark is frozen hard, remove it from the tray and either cut or break it into rustic, snackable pieces. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer, ready to grab whenever you crave something cool and fruity.
Pro Tips for Making Peach Melba Yogurt Bark
- Swirling Technique Magic: Use quick, gentle swirls with your spatula to keep the yogurt colors distinct, giving your bark that gorgeous marbled look without turning it muddy.
- Fruit Placement Matters: Press fruit just lightly into the yogurt to keep it anchored as it freezes—this ensures you get juicy pops in each bite, not lost to the tray.
- Chill Your Equipment: If your kitchen is warm, pop your baking sheet in the freezer for 5 minutes before assembling—the cold surface helps yogurt set up faster and prevents melting while you work.
- Batch Prep Savvy: Double the recipe and use a larger tray for parties—this Peach Melba Yogurt Bark is a guaranteed hit and stores beautifully for impromptu snacking!
How to Serve Peach Melba Yogurt Bark
Garnishes
For next-level presentation, I love to scatter extra bee pollen, a light dusting of edible petals, or a handful of toasted pistachios or almonds over the finished bark. The little pops of color and crunch make it feel special, and the garnish options are endless—just use what excites you!
Side Dishes
While Peach Melba Yogurt Bark truly shines on its own, it also pairs beautifully with a bowl of fresh fruit salad, a tall glass of sparkling water with berries, or even alongside homemade granola or muesli for a fun brunch platter.
Creative Ways to Present
Break the bark into shards and stack them artfully on a cake stand, bundle a few pieces in parchment for grab-and-go snacks, or use as an edible “tile” atop individual smoothie bowls or parfaits. It makes a whimsical, eye-catching finish for summer picnics or party dessert boards.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Once your Peach Melba Yogurt Bark is frozen and broken into pieces, keep any extras layered between sheets of parchment in an airtight container. Store it right in your freezer and enjoy as a cool treat for up to three weeks—no thawing needed!
Freezing
The bark must be kept frozen to retain its delightful crunch and texture. It’s best to freeze in a single layer until solid, then transfer to your storage container. This way, nothing sticks and the fruit stays perfectly locked in place.
Reheating
This is one treat that never needs reheating! Simply eat the bark straight from the freezer for the best crisp texture and creamy bite. If it does sit out, enjoy it before it gets too soft or melty for that signature snap.
FAQs
-
Can I use regular Greek yogurt instead of skyr?
Absolutely! Greek yogurt works beautifully for Peach Melba Yogurt Bark—just be sure to choose a thick, strained variety for the best texture and easy swirling. The flavor will still be deliciously creamy and tangy.
-
Is the bee pollen necessary, and can I swap it out?
Bee pollen adds a unique flavor and pretty appearance, but it’s entirely optional. If you have allergies or simply want a substitute, try toasted coconut, extra nuts, or tiny seeds like chia or hemp for crunch and color.
-
How long does Peach Melba Yogurt Bark need to freeze?
Expect to freeze your tray for at least 3-4 hours until completely solid. For best results, I often leave it overnight so you can snap off crisp pieces whenever a craving hits.
-
Can I use frozen fruit in place of fresh?
You can, but be aware that frozen fruit may release extra moisture and could become icy in the freezer. If using frozen, let it partially thaw and pat dry before adding to the yogurt for the best appearance and texture.
Final Thoughts
I hope you find as much joy in making (and eating!) Peach Melba Yogurt Bark as I do. It’s a playful, refreshing snack that brings a bit of sunshine to any day—give it a try and let your creativity run wild with your favorite flavors and toppings. Happy snacking, friends!
