A light, creamy yogurt dish layered with fresh berries and dark chocolate shavings.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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 lemon juice
06 - 1 tablespoon sugar, optional

→ Toppings

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

# How To Make It:

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

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These sundaes taste decadent and fancy but honestly take less time than deciding what to watch on television.
  • The contrast of cool yogurt, juicy berries, and melting chocolate creates a flavor experience that feels way more complicated than it actually is.
  • You can make them in any season since they work beautifully with fresh berries in summer or thawed frozen ones when the weather turns cold.
02 -
  • Don't skip the whipping step because yogurt whisked for even just two minutes transforms into something completely different in texture and lightness.
  • If you use frozen berries, make sure to drain them thoroughly or your sundae becomes a watery disappointment instead of a textural triumph.
03 -
  • Make your chocolate shavings with a vegetable peeler against the side of a chocolate bar, which is somehow easier and more satisfying than any other method.
  • Chill your yogurt mixture for an hour before serving if you have the time, because cold yogurt hits differently on a warm day.
