Ingredients
Blueberry Compote
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries (200 g)
- 2 tsp maple syrup or sugar
- 1 to 2 tbsp water
Yogurt Layer
- 3/4 cup low fat Greek yogurt (200 g)
- Crunch Layer
- 4 to 6 cantuccini cookies (40 to 50 g)
Optional:
- Extra maple syrup for sweetening yogurt
- Granola instead of cookies
- Chocolate chips for topping
Method
- Add the blueberries and water to a small saucepan. Heat gently for a few minutes until the blueberries soften and release their juices.
- Stir while cooking and lightly crush the berries with a spoon. For a smoother blueberry yogurt texture, briefly blend the mixture with an immersion blender.
- Mix in the maple syrup or sugar. Let the blueberry compote cool slightly so it stays warm but not hot.
- Roughly crush the cantuccini cookies.
- Add half of the cookies to the bottom of two glasses.
- Spoon part of the warm blueberry mixture over the cookies so they soften slightly.
- Add half of the Greek yogurt on top.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining cookies, blueberry compote, and yogurt.
- Finish with extra blueberry compote on top.
- Let the dessert rest for at least 10 minutes before serving so the layers soften slightly and the flavors combine.
Equipment
Notes
- Do not overcook the blueberries. Heating them briefly helps preserve freshness and nutrients
- Greek yogurt and blueberries are naturally high in protein, antioxidants, and vitamins.
- Cantuccini give the dessert a really good crunch and slightly cake like texture once softened
- For a lower sugar blueberry Greek yogurt recipe, use sugar free jam or natural sweeteners.
- You can replace Greek yogurt with skyr, blended cottage cheese, or quark mixed with milk.
- Granola works well instead of cookies if you want a breakfast version.
This recipe is also delicious with apple sauce and speculoos cookies during colder months.
