Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 300 grams Fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 3 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 50 ml Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Chopped nuts or seeds (optional garnishing)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional garnishing)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the fruit sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, pitted Medjool dates, water, and lemon juice.
2. Cook the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and the dates soften. The mixture should thicken slightly.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Blend the mixture using an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.
4. In a mixing bowl, stir the unsweetened Greek yogurt with the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
5. To serve, divide the yogurt into individual serving bowls or jars (approximately 125 grams per serving).
6. Pour a generous spoonful of the cooled fruit sauce over the yogurt in each bowl.
7. Garnish with chopped nuts or seeds and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
8. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days for a chilled treat.
