Happy 4th of July to all of you celebrating it! I hope you are having a lovely, sunny day with some delicious treats! 🙂
One of my favourite things in summer, besides the sunny days and balmy nights, is the abundance of fresh and colourful fruit one can find at the farmers’ market. Every Saturday morning it is a joy and has become one of my favourite ways to grocery shop to peruse the stands at the market and like a butterfly flying from flower to flower browse along the lines and sellers. My only problem is that I am a real food-glutton as I want more and more: this Saturday I bought raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, sour cherries, red- and black currant and some rhubarb.
With so many lovely choices I had a hard time limiting what to sample first, so I opted for this Red White and Blue Berry Yoghurt.
It’s perfect for a weekend breakfast to savour at your leisure or due to its simplicity and how quickly you can throw it together great for any rushed yet healthy weekday breakfast or snack.
It’s fresh and tart due to the juicy raspberries, bluebrries, red- and black currant, but the silky Greek yoghurt sweetened with a few spoonfuls of maple syrup tames the tartness of the fruit. As an extra surprise I hid some Biscoff cookie crumbles between the lawyers (which add some delicious caramel-cinnamon extra taste), and eating this Red White and Blue Berry Yoghurt by the spoonful I love the mystery and unexpectedness of what I’ll taste next: some crunchy Biscoff crumbles or some tender and tart fruits? And of course you can always add some more maple syrup or honey if you prefer things to be on the sweeter side 😉
- 2 cups fresh or frozen berries: 1 cup red berries and 1 cup blue/black berries (I used a mix of raspberries and red-currant & blueberries and black-currant, but it would be equally delicious with strawberries, pitted sweet or sour cherries, blackberries, you can mix it up any way you want)
- 2 cups Greek yoghurt
- ½ cup crumbled Biscoff cookies
- 1-3 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey depending on how sweet you want it (you can always add it at the end if it's not enough)
- Wash and place the red berries in a separate bowl from the blue/black berries.
- Mix together the Greek yoghurt, maple syrup (and if not using Biscoff a pinch of cinnamon).
- In a glass or jar start layering the Biscoff crumbs, then one layer red berries, spoon atop a layer of Greek yoghurt, another layer of Biscoff crumbs, then add a layer of blue berries, top with a few spoonfuls of Greek yoghurt and sprinkle with berries on top.
