# Components:

→ Yogurt Mixture

01 - 2 cups Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
02 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Berries

04 - 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

→ Toppings

07 - 1.5 ounces dark chocolate, shaved or finely chopped

# Directions:

01 - Combine Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Whisk or use a hand mixer for 1 to 2 minutes until light and fluffy.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in under ten minutes but looks fancy enough to impress anyone sitting across from you.
  • The combination of creamy, tart, and sweet hits all the right notes without feeling heavy or overdone.
02 -
  • Whipping the yogurt is non-negotiable if you want that fluffy texture—don't just stir it and call it done, actually give it a minute with a whisk.
  • If your berries are watery, drain them before layering or the whole thing becomes a soft mess instead of something with structure.
03 -
  • Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for five minutes before assembling—it keeps everything cooler longer and makes the whole thing feel more restaurant-quality.
  • If you're making these for guests, whip the yogurt and prep the berries ahead, then assemble just before serving so the layers stay distinct and beautiful.
