Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are completely blended and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Chill the yogurt mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the custard to set slightly.
- Wash the fresh mixed berries gently under cool running water and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Remove the chilled yogurt custard from the refrigerator and divide evenly among 4 serving glasses or small dessert bowls.
- Top each serving with a generous portion of mixed fresh berries, distributing them evenly across the surface of the custard.
- Garnish each serving with a few fresh mint leaves to add a subtle aromatic touch and enhance the visual presentation.
- Serve immediately while the custard is chilled and the berries are fresh. For best taste and texture, consume within 30 minutes of preparation.
Tips
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest, most luxurious texture. The higher fat content ensures a smoother, richer custard.
- Choose the freshest, most colorful berries you can find. A mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries not only tastes amazing but creates a stunning visual presentation.
- Chill your serving glasses beforehand to keep the custard extra cool and refreshing.
- For an elegant touch, drizzle a little extra honey on top just before serving to add a beautiful sheen and extra sweetness.
- If you want to make this dessert ahead of time, prepare the custard base up to 24 hours in advance, but add the fresh berries just before serving to maintain their peak freshness and texture.
- Experiment with different honey varieties like lavender or orange blossom honey to add unique flavor dimensions to your custard.
