Description

A refreshingly simple dessert featuring a medley of fresh berries, drizzled with honey, and topped with a creamy vanilla yogurt and almond crunch.

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 packs of seasonal berries, such as blueberries or raspberries
2 tbsp of good honey
1 tbsp of chopped almonds
1 cup (250 ml) of double cream
2 cups (500 ml) of natural yogurt
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Rinse the berries thoroughly under cold water and let them drain well.
In a large bowl, gently mix the berries together and then transfer them to a serving plate.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the berries.
Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top of the berries.
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.
Fold the natural yogurt and vanilla extract into the whipped cream gently until well combined.
Spoon the vanilla yogurt mixture over the berry salad.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.

Notes

Use any combination of your favorite seasonal berries for the best flavor.
This dish is best served immediately to maintain the freshness of the berries.
If you prefer a sweeter yogurt, add a bit more honey to the yogurt mixture.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one day, though the berries may release more juice over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the recipe whip the double cream separately before folding in the yogurt?

Whipping the 1 cup of double cream to soft peaks first gives the topping a light, airy texture that a straight yogurt would not have. The 2 cups of natural yogurt and 1 tsp of vanilla extract are then folded in gently to keep that lightness while adding tang and flavor.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

The notes say this is best served immediately to maintain the freshness of the berries. If you store leftovers in the refrigerator, the berries will release more juice over time, so no more than one day ahead is recommended.
