Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 cups Mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until fully dissolved, creating a smooth slurry. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Stir occasionally and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the berries start to release their juices and soften. If using frozen berries, you may need an extra minute or two.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir well to incorporate. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the berry sauce from heat and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Divide the Greek yogurt evenly into four serving bowls or cups.
Spoon the warm berry sauce over the Greek yogurt. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
