Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Low-fat graham crackers
- 2 cups Non-fat Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 1 cup Strawberries (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of the yogurt mixture in the bottom of an 8-inch square dish to prevent sticking.
Place a single layer of graham crackers on top of the yogurt. Break the crackers as needed to fit into the corners of the dish.
Spread about 1/4 of the yogurt mixture evenly over the graham crackers.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries and blueberries on top of the yogurt.
Repeat the process, layering graham crackers, yogurt, and fruit until you have 4 layers, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder if desired.
Slice into 6 equal portions and serve chilled.
