Why You’ll Love This Dessert
This simple strawberry delight is great for those moments when you want something fresh but don’t have time to bake or fuss in the kitchen. Whether you’re looking for a quick afternoon snack, a light dessert after dinner, or even a breakfast option, this recipe fits the bill perfectly. Plus, it’s made with natural ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
-
450 grams of natural yogurt (3.6% fat) — Creamy and smooth, it forms the perfect base of this dessert. You can use plain Greek yogurt for a thicker texture or regular natural yogurt for something lighter.
-
750 grams of fresh strawberries — The star of the show! Sweet, juicy, and packed with vitamins. Be sure to pick ripe strawberries for maximum flavor.
-
2 packets of vanilla sugar — Adds a subtle sweetness and that lovely vanilla aroma, elevating the overall taste. You can substitute with vanilla extract or regular sugar if needed.
Preparation — So Simple, You’ll Wonder Why You Haven’t Made This Before!
-
Start by washing your strawberries thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue. After washing, gently hull the strawberries — that means removing the green leafy tops. Set aside 4 whole strawberries to use later as a pretty garnish.
-
Blend the remaining strawberries using an immersion blender or a regular blender until you get a smooth, vibrant strawberry purée. The bright red color and fresh aroma are sure to get your mouth watering!
-
Combine the strawberry purée with the natural yogurt in a large bowl. Add the two packets of vanilla sugar and mix well until everything is beautifully combined. The yogurt will mellow the sweetness of the strawberries and create a silky texture.
-
Pour the mixture into serving glasses or bowls. This recipe makes enough to serve about 4 people, but you can easily scale it up or down depending on your needs.
-
Garnish each serving with one of the reserved whole strawberries. For an extra touch, you can also add a small sprig of fresh mint or a light dusting of powdered sugar if you like.
