Ingredients

  • 500 gGreek yogurt
  • 3 tbsphoney
  • 2 cupsseasonal fruit

Method

  1. Begin by selecting 2 cups of seasonal fruit. Choose fruits that are ripe and fragrant, such as berries, peaches, or figs. Wash them thoroughly under cool running water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. If needed, peel and slice the fruit into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniformity for even distribution in the dish.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 500 g of Greek yogurt. Use a spoon to stir the yogurt gently, ensuring it is smooth and creamy. This will help create a consistent base for the fruit and honey.
  3. Gently fold the prepared fruit into the yogurt. Use a spatula to combine them, being careful not to crush the fruit. The goal is to have the fruit evenly distributed throughout the yogurt while maintaining its shape.
  4. Transfer the yogurt and fruit mixture into a serving dish or individual bowls. Allow it to sit for a few minutes at room temperature. This brief rest lets the flavors meld, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
  5. Drizzle 3 tbsp of honey over the top of the yogurt and fruit. Use a spoon to create a thin, even layer of honey, ensuring each bite will have a touch of sweetness. The honey should glisten on the surface, adding a glossy finish.
  6. Serve the Yogurt with Honey & Seasonal Fruit immediately. The dish should be cool and refreshing, with the sweetness of the honey complementing the tartness of the yogurt and the natural flavors of the seasonal fruit.
