Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, cardamom, and sea salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Transfer ¼ cup of the yogurt mixture to a separate small bowl and set aside. This will be used for the decorative swirl.
Add the mango pulp to the remaining yogurt mixture in the medium bowl. Whisk until the mango is fully incorporated and the mixture is a uniform color.
Line an 8x10 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make it easier to lift the bark out later. This ensures easy removal and clean-up.
Pour the mango yogurt mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly to about ¼ inch thickness.
Dollop spoonfuls of the reserved plain yogurt mixture over the mango layer. Using a butter knife or toothpick, swirl the plain yogurt into the mango layer to create a marbled effect.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries evenly over the surface of the yogurt bark.
Freeze the bark for at least 2 hours, or until solid. Freezing on a flat surface ensures even freezing.
Once frozen, lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Break or cut the bark into irregular pieces.
Store any leftover bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a thick plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt, and use agave syrup or maple syrup in place of honey.
For a marbled effect, swirl in a few spoonfuls of plain or vanilla yogurt before freezing, using a skewer or the tip of a knife to create decorative patterns.
To ensure easy removal, line your baking sheet with parchment paper and let the bark sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before breaking into pieces to avoid cracking.
Add a bit of finely chopped fresh mint or basil for a refreshing herbal twist.
Remove the foil from the frozen yogurt bark before cutting for easier handling.

Expert Tips

For a smoother texture, blend the yogurt mixture thoroughly before spreading it on the baking sheet.
Get creative with your toppings! Consider adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a drizzle of melted chocolate after the bark has frozen.
If you don't have a baking sheet, you can use a shallow freezer-safe container lined with parchment paper.
