Quick Strawberry Yogurt Dessert
Ingredients (serves 2–4):
-
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
-
1–2 tablespoons sugar or honey (optional, depending on sweetness of berries)
-
1 cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
-
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
-
¼ cup granola or crushed biscuits (optional, for crunch)
-
Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chocolate chips, nuts, or drizzle of honey
Instructions:
-
Prepare strawberries
In a small bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with sugar or honey if using. Let them sit for 5–10 minutes to release their juices. -
Mix the yogurt
In another bowl, stir the yogurt with vanilla extract until smooth. -
Layer or mix
-
Layered parfait style: In serving glasses, layer yogurt, strawberries, and granola. Repeat layers until the glass is full.
-
Quick mix style: Fold strawberries directly into the yogurt for a fruity, creamy dessert.
-
-
Add toppings
Sprinkle with extra granola, nuts, or coconut, or drizzle with honey if desired. -
Chill (optional)
You can serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes for a cooler, firmer dessert.
Variations:
-
No sugar added: Use naturally sweet berries and skip sweeteners.
-
Berry mix: Combine strawberries with blueberries or raspberries.
-
Frozen treat: Freeze layered cups for 1–2 hours for a frozen yogurt bite.
-
Creamy indulgence: Fold in a little whipped cream or cream cheese for a richer texture.
If you want, I can give a “strawberry yogurt crunch bar” version that’s inspired by Clodhoppers and no-bake crunch bars—a dessert you can slice and serve. That’s a fun twist! Do you want me to do that?
