Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 2 pieces Fresh kiwi (peeled and sliced)
- 2 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Using a whisk or hand mixer, beat the mixture until smooth and slightly fluffy. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more powdered sugar.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the lemon crème for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the crème is chilling, prepare the fresh fruit. Wash and dry the strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi. Hull and halve the strawberries, slice the kiwi, and set aside.
Divide the prepared fruit evenly among four serving bowls or plates.
Remove the lemon crème from the refrigerator and give it a quick stir. Spoon generous dollops of the lemon crème over the fresh fruit in each bowl.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light, citrusy, and refreshing dessert!
