Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
- 200 grams Fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to release their juices (about 5 minutes).
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this to the berry mixture in the saucepan and stir well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the compote thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, mix the low-fat plain yogurt with the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and optional vanilla extract, if using.
Divide the yogurt evenly into serving bowls or glasses. Spoon the cooled berry compote over the top of the yogurt.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
