Step 1

Make the Streusel:
1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.Place the flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine.
3.Cut in the butter until crumbly. Mixture should resemble oatmeal, with butter pieces no larger than the size of a pea.
4.Press 3/4 of the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch square baking pan.
5.Bake for 15 minutes.

Make the Custard:
6.Whisk the eggs, sugar, yogurt, flour, orange juice, vanilla, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
7.Fold in the frozen berries, and pour the mixture over the par-baked crust.
8.Top with the remaining streusel, and bake for one hour.
9.Cool completely, cut into bars, top with fresh berries, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
