Greek yogurt layer pots with Limoncello-macerated berries
Ingredients
500g / 1½ cup Greek yogurt
Zest of 1½ lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2 tbsp icing sugar
125g / 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry
125g / 1 cup fresh raspberries, washed and patted dry
2 tbsp Limoncello
2 tbsp lemon juice
To serve: crushed biscuits, fresh mint leaves
Preparation
1
Line a fine sieve with a paper towel and allow the yogurt to drain for about an hour. Don’t leave it longer or it will dry out.
2
In a bowl, combine with 1 tbsp Limoncello and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Add the blueberries and toss to coat.
3
In another bowl, repeat the procedure with the raspberries. It’s OK if the raspberries get a little mashed in the process.
4
Let the berries macerate for about 30 minutes.
5
Tip the yogurt into a bowl, add the lemon zest and juice, 1 tbsp icing sugar and mix well. Adjust the sugar and lemon juice – the cream should be tangy but not too sweet.
6
Cover the bottom of serving glasses or small bowls with blueberries. Top with a nice dollop of yogurt, then a layer of raspberries, and another of yogurt.
7
Keep in the fridge until serving time.
8
Decorate with crushed biscuits, leftover berries and a mint leaf.
9
Enjoy!

Note: for a creamier, less guilt-free dessert, substitute mascarpone for the yogurt
