Sweet & Tangy Peach Greek Yogurt Delight
The Perfect Summer Dessert: Juicy Peaches Meet Creamy Greek Yogurt
Did your crisp, firm peaches soften just a bit too much? Instead of letting them go to waste, transform them into a delightful ‘Peach Greek Yogurt’ dessert, inspired by popular Korean variety shows! This recipe offers a simple yet elegant way to enjoy your ripe peaches. While you can stuff them with Greek yogurt, we’ll take a slightly different, visually appealing approach today. We’ll chop the peaches into generous chunks and layer them with crunchy granola and creamy Greek yogurt in a deep serving bowl. A drizzle of honey on top completes this beautiful and delicious dessert. For an extra refreshing treat, chill it in the refrigerator before serving. It’s a perfect way to savor the season’s bounty!
Ingredients- 2 fresh peaches
- 1 cup thick Greek yogurt
- 1-2 Tbsp honey
- 5 Tbsp granola
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare our thick Greek yogurt. If you have plain yogurt at home, you can easily make Greek yogurt by draining the whey. Place a coffee dripper lined with a filter over a bowl, and pour your plain yogurt into it. The liquid will drip out, leaving you with a rich, creamy Greek yogurt. I made a smaller batch for myself, as my family prefers a looser, regular yogurt. Using a coffee dripper is a convenient trick for making small amounts of Greek yogurt.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the peaches. Take your two slightly softened firm peaches. Wash them thoroughly under running water, gently scrubbing with a soft brush to remove any fuzz. Make a deep incision around the pit with a paring knife, circling the center. Then, gently twist the peach halves in opposite directions; they should separate easily.
Step 3
Once the peach halves are separated, if the pit is still attached to one half, use your paring knife to cut around it and break it into smaller pieces. Remove the pit. Then, carefully peel the skin off the peach halves.
Step 4
Next, cut the peeled peaches into generous, bite-sized chunks. Aim for pieces that are substantial enough to retain some texture when eaten.
Step 5
Choose a serving bowl with some depth. Start by adding 5 tablespoons of granola to the bottom of the bowl. This will provide a delightful crunchy base for your dessert.
Step 6
Over the granola, spoon a generous layer of your thick Greek yogurt. Ensure it covers the granola evenly.
Step 7
Arrange a layer of the chopped peaches on top of the Greek yogurt. Make it look as appealing as possible!
Step 8
Now, add another layer of Greek yogurt over the peaches. This layering technique creates a beautiful presentation and a wonderful mix of flavors and textures.
Step 9
Pile the remaining chopped peaches generously on top, creating a beautiful mound that reaches the rim of the bowl.
Step 10
Finally, drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the peaches. The sweetness of the honey will perfectly complement the tartness of the yogurt and the sweetness of the peaches. While delicious served immediately, chilling this dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes will enhance its refreshing flavors. Enjoy your homemade Peach Greek Yogurt Delight!
