Ohhh yes 🍓🥄 Strawberry Yogurt Dessert—light, creamy, and fruity, perfect for a quick treat or healthy snack. You can make it layered, parfait-style, or even chilled as a pudding-like dessert. Here’s a simple and versatile recipe:
🍓 Strawberry Yogurt Dessert
Ingredients (serves 4)
Base / Creamy Layer
- 2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt works for extra creaminess)
- 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt)
Fruit Layer
- 1–2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- Optional: 1–2 tsp lemon juice to macerate the strawberries
- Optional: 1–2 tsp sugar if strawberries are tart
Crunch / Topping
- 1/2 cup granola, crushed biscuits, or chopped nuts
- Optional: shredded coconut or chocolate shavings
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare strawberries
- Slice strawberries and toss with sugar and/or lemon juice (optional).
- Let sit 10–15 minutes to release natural juices.
2️⃣ Prepare yogurt mixture
- In a bowl, mix yogurt, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
3️⃣ Layer dessert
- In serving glasses or bowls, add a layer of yogurt mixture.
- Add a layer of sliced strawberries.
- Repeat layers until glasses are filled, ending with yogurt on top.
4️⃣ Add crunch & garnish
- Sprinkle granola, nuts, or crushed biscuits on top.
- Optional: garnish with a whole strawberry or mint leaf.
5️⃣ Chill & Serve
- Chill in the fridge for 30–60 minutes for a refreshing dessert.
- Serve cold, straight from the fridge.
Pro Tips
- Make-ahead: can be prepared a few hours in advance; granola or nuts stay crunchy if added just before serving.
- Sweetness control: adjust honey or syrup based on yogurt sweetness.
- Creamier texture: use full-fat Greek yogurt or fold in a little whipped cream.
- Fruit variations: swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or peaches.
🔥 Variations
- 🍫 Chocolate Strawberry Yogurt Dessert: swirl in a tablespoon of cocoa powder or chocolate sauce
- 🥭 Tropical Yogurt Parfait: use mango or pineapple instead of strawberries
- 🌰 Nutty Yogurt Dessert: layer with chopped almonds, walnuts, or pistachios
- 🍪 Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt: fold in a little cream cheese with yogurt for cheesecake flavor
I can also give a “ultra-creamy, layered strawberry yogurt dessert” version with graham cracker crumbs, whipped cream, and a strawberry puree drizzle—basically strawberry parfait heaven 😏.
