About This Recipe
Creamy meets crunchy in this no-bake Greek yogurt bark swirled with nutty tahini, studded with pistachios, juicy raspberries, and a sprinkle of dark chocolate. It’s a high-protein, freezer-friendly snack that feels like dessert but fuels like a balanced mini-meal—perfect for quick sweet cravings, lunchboxes, or post-workout bites.
Ingredients
- Greek yogurt (2%)
- Tahini
- Date syrup (or honey/maple)
- Pistachios, chopped
- Raspberries (halve larger berries)
- Dark chocolate (70%), finely chopped or shaved
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
- Vanilla extract (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Line a small sheet pan or tray with parchment. Stir the Greek yogurt with a tiny pinch of sea salt (optional) until smooth; spread into an even 1/4-inch layer.
- In a small bowl, whisk tahini with date syrup and 1–2 teaspoons warm water until drizzly. Spoon over the yogurt and gently swirl with a knife or skewer to create ribbons.
- Scatter raspberries, chopped pistachios, and shaved dark chocolate evenly over the surface; lightly press so toppings adhere.
- Freeze until completely firm, 2–3 hours.
- Break or slice into 8 pieces. For a softer bite, let rest at room temperature 2–3 minutes before eating.
- Store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month; keep frozen until ready to serve.
Healthy Focus
High-protein Greek yogurt forms a creamy base while tahini and pistachios add heart-healthy fats. A touch of date syrup keeps sugars modest, and raspberries plus dark chocolate bring antioxidants. It’s a whole-food, no-bake treat with staying power.

Storage & Make-Ahead
