A delicious layered dessert with 200 calories per serving, this combination of fat-free yogurt with a little full fat gives a full rich flavor. Greek meals can be made up of heavy dishes, or a lot of food, and this light dessert is a perfect ending.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound of fresh or frozen strawberries
- 4 pieces of white bread rusks (friganies)
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 drop of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of fat-free strained yogurt
- 3/4 cup of full-fat strained yogurt
- 1/4 cup of whole milk (optional)
Preparation:
Break up rusks into small pieces.
Whisk fat-free yogurt until smooth and creamy. Slowly add full-fat yogurt, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice and whisk until fully blended. Gently stir in strawberries with a soft spatula (rubber or silicone), leaving out a couple for garnish on each serving.
In a parfait glass, spoon in a layer of the yogurt mixture, sprinkle a layer of rusk pieces, and fill with the yogurt mix. Top with a strawberry or two.
Yield: serves 4
Serving suggestion: You can serve this in an old-fashioned glass as well (see photo).
Note: When using thick strained yogurts, add the milk a few drops at a time while whisking if needed to make the mixture creamier.
