The yogurt and mixed berry cups are light and indulgent, a very quick dessert to prepare even when guests arrive unexpectedly. These small desserts are made without sugar and with Greek yogurt (nonfat), so they’re great for snack or breakfast; furthermore they can be prepared gluten-free and lactose-free.
The combination of the creaminess of the yogurt and the freshness of the mixed berries creates a perfect balance between sweet and slightly tart, making every spoonful irresistible.
You will love this recipe because it is gluten-free, no-cook, ready in 10 minutes and you can make it lactose-free too!!!
If you like Greek yogurt I also recommend the Crepes with Greek yogurt, great for breakfast, or the Yogurt and Mixed Berry Millefeuille.
