Description
A simple, protein-packed dessert made with Greek yogurt that feels indulgent without the guilt. Perfect for weeknight dinners or brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt, well-stirred
- 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine salt
- Optional: 2 tbsp chilled heavy cream (for extra fluff) or 2 tbsp coconut cream for dairy-free
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, toasted nuts, lemon zest, cocoa nibs
Instructions
- (Optional) For a thicker base, line a sieve with cheesecloth, place over a bowl, and strain 2 cups yogurt in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours.
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for 10–15 minutes in the freezer.
- Put strained or unstrained yogurt in the chilled bowl. Add honey, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
- If using heavy cream: whip the cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the yogurt. If not using cream, whip the yogurt until it lightens and becomes slightly airy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness. Spoon into serving dishes, add toppings, and chill for 10–15 minutes if you want it very cold before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture. Don’t over-whip, as this can make the yogurt grainy.
