Instructions
Prep your pan
Line a quarter sheet pan (9x13-inch) with parchment paper. Make sure it fits flat in your freezer.
Make the pumpkin banana yogurt layer
In a medium bowl, mix together the banana yogurt, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and creamy. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the lined pan—aim for about ½-inch thick.
Chill the base
Place the pan in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the layer feels firm enough to support the next layer.
Add the almond butter
Add the almond butter layer on top of the banana pumpkin yogurt layer. I like to heat up my almond butter for 15-20 seconds in the microwave to make it easier to pour.
Melt the chocolate
Add dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a heat-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth. (Alternatively, melt on the stovetop using a double boiler.)
Assemble the bark
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the chilled pumpkin layer. Gently tilt the pan or use a spatula to smooth it out. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and cacao nibs for that perfect crunch and visual contrast.
Set and serve
Freeze for 3–4 hours, or until the chocolate layer is firm. Once frozen, break the bark into pieces and enjoy.
Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating for the best texture.
