Chocolate Crunch: In small glass bowl, melt chocolate in microwave on High in 10-second intervals. Stir in oats, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, salt and cayenne until mixed. Scrape onto small parchment paper-lined plate. Spread into single layer; refrigerate until hardened. Coarsely crumble.

On each dessert plate, place one-quarter of the yogurt onto centre of plate. With the back of spoon, fan out yogurt into half-moon shape. Equally spoon grilled fruit wedges over top; sprinkle with berries and chocolate crunch. Garnish with mint.
