Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain unsalted yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt)
- 2 cups Fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or granola (optional, for topping)
- 2 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, add the mixed berries, honey or maple syrup (if using), and lemon juice.
2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes. The berries should break down and release their juices, forming a thick compote.
3. Remove the compote from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool to room temperature.
4. In serving bowls or cups, divide the unsalted yogurt evenly (approximately 1/2 cup per serving).
5. Spoon the cooled berry compote over the yogurt in each bowl, spreading it out to cover the surface.
6. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on top for added texture and flavor.
7. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
8. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator (covered) for up to 2 days.
