Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, carefully measure out 1 cup of Greek yogurt, ensuring the yogurt is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the yogurt, using a liquid measuring spoon for precise measurement. Honey provides natural sweetness and helps balance the tanginess of the Greek yogurt.
- Pour 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract into the mixture. Gently stir with a whisk or fork to incorporate the vanilla, which will enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the yogurt mixture. Use a small whisk or spoon to blend the cinnamon thoroughly, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
- Continue stirring until all ingredients are completely combined and the sauce has a smooth, creamy consistency with no visible dry spice spots.
- Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or spice if desired, adding a touch more honey or cinnamon to suit your preference.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to serve with fresh fruits.
- When serving, give the sauce a quick stir and drizzle or dollop over your favorite fresh fruits for a delightful and healthy dessert or snack.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality Greek yogurt for the best flavor and texture. Full-fat yogurt will give you a creamier sauce, while low-fat options are lighter.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste. If you prefer a less sweet sauce, start with one tablespoon and add more as needed.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of nutmeg for a twist on the classic recipe. You can also substitute maple syrup for honey for a different flavor profile.
- Serve It Fresh: For the best taste, serve the yogurt sauce shortly after making it. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just give it a good stir before serving.
- Pair with a Variety of Fruits: This sauce goes well with a wide range of fruits, from berries and bananas to apples and melons. Get creative and mix it up with your favorites!
- Use as a Versatile Topping: Besides being a fantastic dip for fruits, this yogurt sauce can also be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or even as a spread for toast.
