Ingredients
  

The Suspension Matrix (Base)

  • 2 Cups Greek Yogurt 5% Fat Strained, plain or vanilla
  • 1 Cup Fresh Raspberries Washed and dried
  • 3 tbsp Maple Syrup Or Honey Grade A
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Pure

The Texture Layer (Toppings)

  • 2 oz Dark Chocolate 70% Melted for drizzling
  • 1/2 Banana Sliced into 1/4" rounds
  • 4 Large Strawberries Hull removed sliced
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Nuts Walnuts or Pistachios

Instructions
 

  • In a flat plate, apply mechanical force to the Fresh Raspberries using a fork. Mash until the cell walls rupture and a puree forms, but seeds remain intact (The "Maillard Mash").
  • Then transfer into your Greek yoghurt bowl then add in your Maple Syrup, and Vanilla Extract to the raspberry puree. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a uniform frequency of color (pastel pink). Do not over-aerate.
  • Line an aluminum sheet pan with parchment paper. Pour the mixture onto the center. Using an offset spatula, spread the suspension to a uniform thickness of 1cm. Verify evenness to prevent melting hotspots.
  • Drizzle the Melted Dark Chocolate in a rapid zig-zag motion across the surface. Immediately place the Banana and Strawberry slices into the wet base before the chocolate sets.
  • Transfer the sheet pan to a freezer (0°F / -18°C) for exactly 2 hours.
  • Remove from the freezer. Lift the parchment paper to a cutting board. Snap the slab into 8 distinct shards. Serve immediately or store.

Notes

  • Storage Protocol: Store in an airtight silicone bag in the freezer for up to 14 days. Allow to temper at room temperature for 60 seconds before consuming to soften the chocolate snap.
  • Troubleshooting: If the bark is too icy, your yogurt fat content was too low. Ensure you use 5% fat Greek yogurt, not 0% fat.
