Indulge in the creamy, fruity delight of a Yogurt Berry Fool, a quick and elegant dessert that pairs the tangy richness of Greek yogurt with the natural sweetness of fresh mixed berries. This no-cook recipe highlights juicy strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, gently macerated with a touch of sugar to release their vibrant flavors and juices. Sweetened with honey and scented with vanilla, the yogurt creates a luscious balance that complements the berries perfectly. Layered in glasses for a stunning presentation and finished with a fresh mint garnish, this 15-minute recipe is perfect for effortless entertaining or a light summer treat. Plus, itβs naturally wholesome and can be made ahead for ultimate convenience.
Wash the mixed berries thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. If using strawberries, hull and quarter them.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mixed berries with the granulated sugar and gently mash them with a fork or potato masher to release some juices. Set aside for 5 minutes to macerate.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Layer the dessert in serving glasses: start with a spoonful of the macerated berries at the bottom, then add a layer of the yogurt mixture. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a dollop of yogurt on top.
Garnish each serving with a whole berry and a mint leaf for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled and refreshing treat.
