Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh strawberries
- 100 grams Fresh raspberries
- 100 grams Fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 400 grams Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 100 grams Low-fat whipped cream
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Reserve a few whole berries for garnish if desired, then chop the remaining strawberries into small pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and the vanilla extract, then gently toss the berries to coat. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, so the juices release.
Using a blender or food processor, puree half of the berry mixture until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, you may add a teaspoon of water to help blend. Leave the remaining berries whole for texture.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Greek yogurt mixture until combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Layer the yogurt mixture, berry puree, and whole berry mixture in serving glasses, alternating to create a layered effect. Use a spoon to gently swirl the layers for a marbled appearance if desired.
Top each serving with the reserved whole berries and a mint leaf for garnish.
Chill the desserts in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
