Ingredient Notes
Low Fat Greek Yogurt creates a thick and creamy base while keeping this dessert lighter and high in protein. You can also use full fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture.
Raspberry Compote adds fruity sweetness and gives the yogurt its pink color. Homemade or store bought compote both work well.
Dark Chocolate hardens into a crisp shell after chilling. I like using chocolate with around 70% cocoa for a rich flavor that balances the raspberries.
How to Make Raspberry Compote
If you do not have raspberry compote, add 2½ cups fresh or frozen raspberries (300 g) to a microwave safe bowl or small saucepan.
Heat them in the microwave or over low heat until soft. Mash the raspberries and mix in 1 tablespoon of agave syrup or another sweetener of your choice. Let the mixture cool before stirring it into the Greek yogurt.
Easy Variations
- Use strawberries, cherries, or blueberries instead of raspberries.
- Add a little vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture.
- Use milk chocolate for a sweeter topping.
