A creamy frozen treat with matcha, pistachio cream, and fresh berry swirls for a refreshing snack.

# Components:

→ Yogurt Base

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
02 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Swirl Components

04 - 2 teaspoons matcha powder
05 - 1 tablespoon warm water
06 - 3 tablespoons pistachio cream or smooth pistachio butter
07 - 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
08 - 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
09 - 2 teaspoons sugar or agave syrup (divided for berry purees)

→ Toppings

10 - 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
11 - 1/4 cup mixed fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries), sliced if large

# Method steps:

01 - Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Evenly spread the yogurt mixture on the prepared baking sheet to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
04 - Whisk matcha powder with warm water in a small bowl until smooth.
05 - If pistachio cream is too thick, warm gently until it drizzles easily.
06 - In separate bowls, mash raspberries and blueberries each with 1 teaspoon sugar or agave syrup until saucy but retaining some texture.
07 - Drop spoonfuls of matcha paste, pistachio cream, raspberry puree, and blueberry puree over the yogurt base; use a skewer or knife to gently swirl for a marbled effect.
08 - Sprinkle chopped pistachios and mixed fresh berries evenly over the marbled yogurt.
09 - Freeze the bark uncovered for at least 3 hours or until completely solid.
10 - Break or cut the frozen bark into pieces and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

02 -
  • The parchment paper overhang is not optional, you will thank me later when you can lift the whole sheet out at once
  • Do not cover it while freezing or you will end up with freezer burn and weird ice crystals
  • Letting it sit on the counter for literally thirty seconds before cutting makes the difference between clean breaks and a crumbly mess
03 -
  • Work quickly once you start adding toppings, especially if your kitchen is warm
  • Rotate the pan halfway through swirling to ensure even coverage
  • A bench scraper makes the cleanest cuts if you want uniform pieces instead of jagged bark
