        4. In the meantime, melt the chocolate and mix with the quark and sugar with a spoon in a medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle in your Super Matcha and stir until combined! (If you are using plain matcha add 100g of blended blueberries to the mixture as well). 

        5. Pour your mixture onto the set biscuit base and freeze for 4 hours. 

        6. Before serving leave in the fridge for 15 minutes to soften slightly. Top with a dusting of matcha powder, and some fresh blueberries.
