Description

This refreshing Yogurt Bomb with Berries is a creamy, tangy dessert made by combining Greek yogurt with whipped heavy cream, sweetened and flavored with vanilla and lemon juice. The mixture is then gently strained to create a firm, luscious mousse-like treat that is served chilled with sweetened thawed mixed berries. A perfect light dessert to enjoy any time.

Ingredients

Yogurt Mixture

  • 2.2 lbs creamy Greek yogurt (1 kg)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • 2 packets vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh lemon juice, to taste (about 1 whole lemon)

Whipped Cream

  • 2 ½ cups heavy cream (600 ml)

Topping

  • 1 lb frozen mixed berries, thawed (450 g)
  • 1-3 tablespoons granulated sugar, to taste

Instructions

  1. Whip cream: Pour the heavy cream into a chilled bowl and whip it until stiff peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside carefully to maintain its volume.
  2. Combine yogurt dessert: In a very large bowl, pour the creamy Greek yogurt. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla sugar or extract, and fresh lemon juice to taste. The recipe suggests using the juice from one whole lemon for a tangy flavor.
  3. Fold in cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated, keeping the mixture light and airy. Taste and adjust lemon juice if needed.
  4. Assemble yogurt dessert: Prepare another clean, large bowl and place a large sieve on top so that it fits inside without touching the bottom. Line the sieve with a clean kitchen or muslin cloth.
  5. Strain yogurt mix: Carefully pour the yogurt and cream mixture into the lined sieve. Cover with the overlapping cloth and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, ideally 20-24 hours. During this time, drain the whey by pouring it away after the first 4-5 hours and again the next morning. Ensure the sieve does not sit in liquid to allow proper draining and firming of the yogurt bomb.
  6. Thaw berries: A few hours before serving, thaw the frozen mixed berries completely. Mix them with 1-3 tablespoons granulated sugar to sweeten according to taste.
  7. Unmold yogurt bomb: Remove the cloth covering the yogurt bomb. Place a serving platter on top of the sieve, hold the handle of the sieve with one hand, and carefully invert it so the yogurt bomb gently falls onto the platter. Remove the cloth completely. Arrange the sweetened thawed berries around the yogurt bomb and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a very large bowl for mixing as the volume will increase when folding in whipped cream.
  • Straining the mixture slowly is key to achieving the right thick, creamy texture.
  • The amount of lemon juice can be adjusted to your preferred level of tanginess.
  • Whey that drains from the yogurt can be discarded or reserved for other uses like smoothies or baking.
  • For best consistency, allow the yogurt bomb to strain for 20-24 hours.
  • Ensure berries are well thawed and sweetened slightly to balance the tangy yogurt bomb.
