Introduction

Craving something sweet but short on time and kitchen tools? This quick, no-bake dessert is your new best friend. Ready in just 5 minutes, it requires no oven, no gelatin, and uses simple ingredients you probably have on hand. Creamy, fruity, and delightfully refreshing, it’s a dessert you’ll never grow tired of making or eating.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla for extra sweetness)

  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

  • 1/4 cup crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Optional: a handful of chopped nuts or shredded coconut for topping


Preparation

  1. Sweeten the Yogurt: In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  2. Layer the Dessert: Take a glass or small bowl and spoon in a layer of the sweetened yogurt. Next, add a layer of crushed biscuits, then a layer of berries.

  3. Repeat Layers: Continue layering yogurt, biscuits, and berries until you fill the glass or bowl, ending with a berry layer on top.

  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle with chopped nuts or shredded coconut if you like extra texture and flavor.


Serving and Storage Tips

  • Serve immediately for the best crunch from the biscuit layer.

  • If preparing ahead, keep the biscuit layer separate and add just before serving to avoid sogginess.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, but note the biscuit texture will soften over time.
