Fluffy Yogurt Berry Sundaes (Print Version)

Light, creamy yogurt layered with fresh berries and topped with dark chocolate shavings for a refreshing treat.

# 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)
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
06 - 1 tablespoon sugar, optional

→ Toppings

07 - 1.5 ounces dark chocolate, shaved or finely chopped
08 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whip with a whisk or hand mixer for 1 to 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
02 - In a separate bowl, gently toss the mixed berries with lemon juice and sugar if using. Let sit for a couple of minutes to release juices.
03 - Divide half of the yogurt mixture among four serving glasses or bowls.
04 - Spoon half of the berries over the yogurt layer, then repeat with remaining yogurt and berries to create even layers.
05 - Top each sundae with dark chocolate shavings and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
06 - Serve immediately while yogurt is chilled and chocolate is still defined.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes but tastes like you spent an hour being fancy in the kitchen.
  • The contrast between cool creamy yogurt and tart berries hits differently when layered just right.
  • Dark chocolate shavings make people think you're way more sophisticated than you actually are.
02 -
  • Don't skip whipping the yogurt—it's the difference between a bowl of yogurt and an actual sundae experience.
  • Frozen berries work fine if you thaw them and drain off excess liquid, but fresh berries give you better texture and that burst of flavor.
03 -
  • Use a vegetable peeler or channel knife to shave your dark chocolate directly over the sundae for elegant curls instead of chopped pieces.
  • Make the yogurt mixture an hour ahead and keep it cold—it stays fluffier longer than you'd expect.
