Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cups Fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, orange zest, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Once the berry compote has cooled, spoon 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each serving glass or bowl.
Add a layer of the berry compote on top of the yogurt layer, followed by another layer of yogurt. Repeat this layering process until the glasses or bowls are full, leaving a little space at the top.
Using a skewer or the tip of a knife, gently swirl the yogurt and berry layers together to create a marbled effect.
Refrigerate the Orange Berry Swirls for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving, if desired.
