Baked Yogurt with Berry Topping Recipe

Introduction

Baked yogurt is a creamy, custard-like dessert that’s simple to make and wonderfully satisfying. With a subtle sweetness and fresh berries, it’s perfect for breakfast or a light treat any time of day.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Greek yogurt
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 1/2 cups berries (divided)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Set it aside for now.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything until the mixture is smooth.
3. Step 3: Add the cornstarch to the yogurt mixture and whisk again until it’s fully incorporated and smooth.

5. Step 5: Bake for 45 minutes or until the center is set and no longer jiggly. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool almost completely before cutting into 9 slices.
6. Step 6: Serve as is or drizzle with extra maple syrup for added sweetness and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Use any fresh or frozen berries you like, such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute the Greek yogurt with a thick coconut yogurt.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the yogurt mixture for a warm spice note.
• Line the baking dish with foil if you don’t have parchment paper; just lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy chilled. This dessert also tastes great cold.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is thicker and helps the baked yogurt set properly. If using regular yogurt, strain it overnight in a cheesecloth to remove excess liquid for best results.

What if my baked yogurt is still jiggly after baking?

If the center is still jiggly, bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, checking frequently to avoid overcooking. It should be just set but still creamy.

Notes

• You can substitute honey for maple syrup based on preference or availability.
• Use fresh or frozen berries; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid before adding.
• Ensure the yogurt is full-fat for creamier texture and better set.
• To make slicing easier, refrigerate the baked yogurt for an hour after cooling.
• Feel free to swap berries for other fruits like chopped peaches or mangoes for variation.
