Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain unsweetened Greek yogurt (low sodium)
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for natural sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 4 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, honey (if using), and water. Place over medium heat and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-6 minutes or until the berries release their juices and soften.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of water to create a slurry. Slowly stir this into the berry mixture while continuing to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the fruit sauce from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
Divide the plain unsweetened Greek yogurt between two serving bowls.
Spoon the cooled fruit sauce over the yogurt, spreading it evenly across the top.
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of fragrance and presentation.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
