Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

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

Fruit Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups berries (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Incorporate cornstarch and berries: Add the cornstarch to the yogurt mixture and whisk again until fully incorporated. Gently fold in 1 cup of the berries with a few light stirs to avoid breaking them up.
  4. Pour and top: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of berries on top to add texture and flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the center of the yogurt is set and no longer jiggly.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the baked yogurt from the oven and allow it to cool almost completely. Cut into 9 slices and serve as is, or drizzle with additional maple syrup for extra sweetness.

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.
