Ingredients

One 17 1/2-ounce container plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup heavy cream 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup brown sugar 

Assorted berries (or other fruit of your choice) 

Directions

  1. First, pour the yogurt into a bowl. Then add the cream and vanilla. With a whisk, carefully stir until combined. It should be nice and thick.
  2. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture. Do not stir the mixture. Cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and tightly seal the edges. Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
  3. When you are ready to serve, place a small handful of berries (or other fruit) into a bowl or cup. Without stirring the mixture, spoon the yogurt over the berries. There will be creamy areas and brown sugar areas. Repeat the layers once, ending with berries on top.

This is very good! When I said what I was serving for dessert, a guest later said he’d inwardly groaned thinking it would be blah but then raved over it. This is an awesome dessert. I used lowfat greek yogurt and coconut palm sugar as one of my guests won’t eat regular sugar. The cream adds a richness and texture you don’t get with whole milk greek yogurt. The amount of sugar is perfect for the way I served it- recipe says four servings but I just put a dollop over each serving of mixed, unsweetened berries and had six ample servings with a bit to spare. I think 6-8 servings is what I would plan on. I didn’t layer it, just spooned blueberries, strawberries,, and raspberries into a bowl and placed into individual dessert dishes. The touch of vanilla is important. I will definitely make this again. It lends itself to all sorts of diets. People might want just fruit, others will want the yogurt on top.
