Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
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.
