Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
- 300 grams Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the fruit sauce: Wash the mixed berries thoroughly and set a small portion aside for garnishing, if desired.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining mixed berries, honey, lemon juice, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and a sauce forms, about 7-10 minutes.
3. Using a fork or the back of a spoon, gently mash some of the berries in the saucepan to create a thicker sauce with a slightly chunky texture. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the sauce cool to room temperature.
4. Divide the low-fat yogurt evenly among four bowls or serving glasses.
5. Spoon the cooled fruit sauce over the yogurt, distributing it evenly.
6. Garnish each serving with a few of the reserved fresh berries and, if desired, mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
7. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
