Ingredients
1 cup fresh strawberries (washed and chopped)
½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
A few drops of vanilla essence (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, or walnuts – optional)
Mint leaves or a strawberry slice for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries
Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the green tops and chop them into small pieces. You can also mash a few pieces slightly with a spoon to release some juice for extra flavor. - Mix the base
In a small bowl, add the Greek yogurt. Stir in the honey or maple syrup and a few drops of vanilla essence. Mix until smooth and creamy. This forms the base of your dessert. - Assemble the dessert
In a serving glass or small bowl, add a layer of crushed biscuits at the bottom. This will provide a slight crunch and balance the creaminess of the yogurt. - Add the strawberry layer
Spoon the chopped strawberries over the crushed biscuits. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can drizzle a little extra honey over the strawberries. - Add the yogurt mixture
Pour the prepared yogurt mixture over the strawberries. Smooth it out gently with the back of a spoon. - Top and garnish
Sprinkle some crushed nuts on top for added texture and nutrition. Add a strawberry slice or a mint leaf on top for a decorative touch. - Serve immediately
This dessert is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it right away to preserve the texture of the biscuit layer and the coolness of the yogurt.
