Instructions

Make the Streusel:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine.
Cut in the butter until crumbly. Mixture should resemble oatmeal, with butter pieces no larger than the size of a pea.
Press ¾ of the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch square baking pan.
Bake for 15 minutes.

Make the Custard:

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