Frozen Yogurt Bark 3.0 (Printable Version)

Creamy frozen yogurt swirled with matcha, pistachio cream, and fresh berry purees for a refreshing snack.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ 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)

→ Toppings

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

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.
03 - Evenly spread the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet to a thickness of about half an inch.
04 - Whisk matcha powder with warm water in a small bowl until smooth.
05 - Slightly warm pistachio cream if too thick to allow easy drizzling.
06 - In separate small bowls, mash raspberries and blueberries each with one teaspoon of 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, then gently swirl using a skewer or knife to create a marbled effect.
08 - Sprinkle chopped pistachios and mixed fresh berries evenly over the swirled yogurt.
09 - Place uncovered in the freezer for at least three hours until completely firm.
10 - Break or cut the frozen bark into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but actually lets you feel good about eating it, which is rarer than you'd think.
  • The whole thing comes together in 15 minutes of actual work, then the freezer does the heavy lifting.
  • Once you nail the basic technique, you can swap in whatever flavors you're craving without overthinking it.
02 -
  • If your swirls blend into muddy brown instead of staying distinct, your yogurt base was too soft or you swirled too aggressively—chill everything 10 minutes before swirling next time.
  • Matcha that hasn't been whisked smooth turns bitter and gritty, so spend 30 seconds making sure there are absolutely no lumps before adding it.
03 -
  • Spreading the yogurt base in an even layer takes 30 seconds longer but prevents you from having thick chunks next to paper-thin pieces that freeze at different rates.
  • If your pistachio cream won't drizzle, warm it just enough that it flows—overheating makes it separate and greasy.
