TIPS
- Use Cold Yoghurt: Keep the yoghurt chilled until ready to serve for the best creamy texture.
- Slice Strawberries Evenly: Chopping them into similar sizes ensures an even distribution and consistent taste.
- Add Honey Last: Always drizzle Honey just before serving to preserve the fresh look of the fruit.
- Go Seasonal: For better taste and savings, use ripe, in-season strawberries.
- Presentation Matters: Layer yoghurt and fruit in a clear glass for a visually appealing snack or party dish.
VARIATIONS
- Add Nuts Or Seeds: Sprinkle with chopped almonds, walnuts or sunflower seeds for extra crunch and healthy fats.
- Use Flavoured Yoghurt: Try vanilla or coconut Greek yoghurt for a naturally sweet twist.
- Mix In Other Fruits: Add blueberries, raspberries or sliced bananas for a more colourful fruit cup.
- Vegan Version: Use coconut or soy yoghurt and maple syrup instead of Honey.
- Make It Frozen: Freeze in layers for 1 hour to turn into a refreshing mini-frozen dessert.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Short-Term Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for optimal taste and texture.
- Avoid Freezing Raw Fruit: If freezing, assemble the dish without strawberries and add them fresh just before serving.
- Portable Option: Use small jars or sealed containers for a convenient, transportable snack.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Prep the fruit in advance and store it separately. Combine when ready to eat.
- Do Not Overmix: Layer instead of mixing if storing to avoid fruit releasing too much liquid into the yoghurt.
