Frozen Yogurt Matcha Swirl (Printable Version)

A creamy frozen yogurt treat swirled with matcha, pistachio, and fresh berry purees for a refreshing snack.

# What You 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

# Steps:

01 - Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla in a medium bowl, mixing until smooth.
02 - Evenly spread the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to about a 1/2 inch thickness.
03 - Whisk matcha powder with warm water in a small bowl until a smooth paste forms.
04 - If pistachio cream is too thick, gently warm to allow drizzling. In separate bowls, mash raspberries and blueberries each with 1 teaspoon sugar or agave syrup until saucy but slightly textured.
05 - Drop spoonfuls of matcha paste, pistachio cream, raspberry puree, and blueberry puree evenly over the yogurt layer. Using a skewer or knife, gently swirl to create a marbled pattern.
06 - Scatter chopped pistachios and mixed fresh berries over the swirled yogurt surface.
07 - Place the baking sheet uncovered in the freezer for a minimum of 3 hours or until completely solid.
08 - Break or cut the frozen bark into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in fifteen minutes and feels fancy enough for guests
  • You can keep a stash in the freezer for sudden cravings
  • The swirls make it look like you spent way more effort than you actually did
02 -
  • Don't swirl too aggressively or you'll muddy the colors instead of getting pretty marbling
  • The bark needs to freeze completely before you try to break it, or it'll just bend instead of snap
  • Store pieces between layers of parchment in a container so they don't stick together
03 -
  • Use an offset spatula if you have one for spreading the yogurt evenly
  • If your berries are particularly tart, taste the purees and add more sweetener as needed
  • Double the recipe and freeze two pans at once, it disappears faster than you'd expect
