Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar substitute
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the surface is flat and smooth.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, matcha powder, honey (or sugar substitute), and pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is completely uniform and vibrant green with no powder lumps.
- Spread the matcha yogurt mixture evenly across the parchment paper, creating a thin, consistent layer approximately 1/4 inch thick. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios across the entire surface of the yogurt, distributing them evenly for consistent coverage.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for approximately 2-3 hours, or until the bark is completely firm and solid.
- Once frozen, remove from freezer and break or cut into irregular pieces using a sharp knife.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture, consume within 1 week.
Tips
- Matcha Quality Matters: Use high-grade ceremonial or culinary matcha for the most vibrant green color and robust flavor.
- Smooth Mixing Technique: Whisk the matcha powder thoroughly to prevent lumps. For extra smoothness, sift the matcha before mixing.
- Sweetener Options: While the recipe suggests honey or a sugar substitute, you can experiment with monk fruit sweetener or stevia for different keto-friendly variations.
- Freezing Perfection: Ensure your baking sheet is completely flat in the freezer to create an even bark layer.
- Cutting Hack: For clean breaks, let the bark sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before cutting to prevent shattering.
- Storage Tip: Use parchment paper between layers when storing in the freezer to prevent sticking.
- Customization: Feel free to add extra toppings like unsweetened coconut flakes or chia seeds for additional texture and nutrition.
