# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking skills and comes together in under 15 minutes of hands-on work.
  • The combination of creamy yogurt, juicy strawberries, and crunchy pistachios hits every texture you're craving in one bite.
  • It's naturally gluten-free and can easily go vegan, making it perfect for sharing with anyone at your table.
  • Freezer-friendly means you can make it days ahead and impress people without last-minute scrambling.
02 -
  • Don't skip the parchment paper or your bark will stick stubbornly to the sheet—learned this the hard way and spent 20 minutes trying to pry it off.
  • The yogurt-to-topping ratio matters more than you'd think; if you load it too heavy with fruit and nuts, it won't freeze together as one cohesive bark.
  • Strawberries release moisture as they thaw, so store leftovers in an airtight container and eat within a few days for the best texture.
03 -
  • Spread the yogurt slightly thinner than you think you need to—it firms up more than you'd expect, and thinner bark is easier to break into satisfying pieces.
  • Chill your bowl and utensils before spreading the yogurt; even a few degrees of coolness helps it set faster and more evenly.
