Ingredients

For the Yogurt Cup

  • 4 tbsp low fat Greek yogurt (around 2% fat (60 g))
  • 3 tbsp cooled cherry compote (45 g)
  • 25 g dark chocolate (preferably around 70% cocoa)
  • 4 tbsp soy crispies (approximately 15 g)

Optional Homemade Cherry Compote

  • ½ cup pitted fresh or frozen cherries (75 g)
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (or less to taste)

Method

  1. If you are making the cherry compote yourself, add the cherries, agave syrup, and cinnamon to a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Heat the cherries over low heat or in the microwave until they are soft and begin to release their juices. Stir and lightly mash the cherries to create a thick compote.
  3. Allow the cherry compote to cool completely before adding it to the yogurt.
  4. Add the low fat Greek yogurt and 3 tablespoons of the cooled cherry compote to a bowl. Stir until evenly combined and creamy.
  5. Transfer the cherry yogurt mixture to a small dessert bowl or glass and smooth the surface.
  6. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave using 20-second intervals. Stir between each interval until completely smooth.
  7. Add the soy crispies to the melted chocolate and stir until they are evenly coated.
  8. Spread the chocolate soy crispy mixture evenly over the cherry yogurt.
  9. Refrigerate the dessert for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chocolate topping has completely hardened.
  10. For a faster option, place the dessert in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not leave it in the freezer for too long, as the yogurt should remain creamy.
  11. Crack the chocolate shell with a spoon and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a thick low fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture. Skyr also works well.
  • Make sure the cherry compote is completely cool before mixing it with the yogurt.
  • You can use prepared cherry compote or make your own with fresh or frozen cherries.
  • Use 20 g of dark chocolate for a thinner shell or up to 30 g for a thicker chocolate layer.
  • The exact amount of soy crispies may vary depending on their size. Add enough to create a crunchy chocolate mixture that can still be spread.
  • Refrigerating the dessert creates the best creamy texture.
  • The freezer is only recommended when you need the chocolate shell to set quickly.
  • Enjoy the dessert shortly after chilling for the best contrast between the creamy yogurt and crunchy shell.
