Decadent Greek Yogurt With Sweet Berries Recipe. I have a few confessions to make today. First, I will admit to you all that I cannot stop watching The Cooking Channel. It is literally on, ALL DAY, in my house. I watch while I do my housework and even while I make snacks.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again….there are certain things that I see, and there is no question in my mind that I will love it. Last night I was watching Giada make a Decadent Greek Yogurt With Sweet Berries dessert that looked out of this world. I absolutely knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that I would be making this today.
What I was worried about was that the original recipe would have me consuming an ungodly amount of calories and fat considering that the base was whole milk ricotta cheese. I just couldn’t follow the recipe the way that it was aired because I didn’t want to indulge quite that much.
I decided that I could work around the worst of it and make it at least a little healthier. Please try this Greek Yogurt With Sweet Berries. I guarantee you’ll love it. If you don’t, give me a call — I’ll come over and eat it for you. My second confession is that this dessert ended up being my dinner tonight!! I couldn’t wait to eat, and I just dove right in. I am not regretting that decision, but I did feel a little ashamed for a minute…I got over it.
Decadent Greek Yogurt With Sweet Berries Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cups sugar
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 8 pieces strawberries stems removed and quartered
- ¼ cup lemon juice fresh
- ½ cup orange juice
- 500 grams Greek yogurt
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine ½ cup sugar with the orange juice and lemon juice over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the fruit has softened up. Allow the fruit to cool to room temperature before using.
- Place the yogurt in the bottom of your bowl (use as much or as little as you like). I used my all-time favorite yogurt, Chobani, as the base for this dessert. If you’ve never tried Greek yogurt, you MUST do it. It is full of protein and has such a thick, creamy and wonderful texture. The tang of Greek yogurt is so fantastic; there is just no comparison between Greek yogurt and regular yogurt. Give it a nice spoonful of berries.
