Step 3: Add the Festive Toppings
- Now for the fun part! Evenly distribute the kiwi slices, green grapes, pistachios (or pumpkin seeds), and white chocolate chips (if using) over the yogurt layer. Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or granola for added texture.
Step 4: Freeze Until Firm
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until the yogurt is completely frozen and firm.
Step 5: Break Into Pieces & Enjoy!
- Once frozen, remove the bark from the freezer and use your hands to break it into irregular pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, festive treat!
