Ingredients
Scale
Dairy Base
- 1 cup Quark (Full-fat or low-fat options, or silken tofu for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt (Optional thickener)
Fruits
- 1 cup Strawberries (Fresh and sliced just before serving)
- 1 cup Blueberries (Rinsed before use)
- 1 cup Raspberries (Handled carefully)
Toppings & Garnish
- 2 tablespoons Raw Honey (A mild type is preferred; can substitute with maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest (Optional for added flavor)
- 1/4 cup Chopped Nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pistachios) (Can substitute with pumpkin or sunflower seeds)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Mint Leaves (For garnish and aroma)
Instructions
- Combine Dairy Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the quark and Greek yogurt. Whisk together for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a light base for the berries.
- Prepare Berries: Rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries thoroughly, then gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice the strawberries just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
- Warm Honey: Slightly warm the raw honey in the microwave for about 5 seconds to make it easier to drizzle evenly over the dish without losing its beneficial qualities.
- Assemble the Dish: Drizzle the warmed honey over the whipped quark and Greek yogurt mixture, then layer the prepared strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top.
- Add Toppings and Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the berries for added crunch and nutrition. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and optional lemon zest to add aroma and a hint of citrus flavor, completing the colorful presentation.
Notes
- Use silken tofu as a dairy-free alternative to quark for a vegan-friendly version.
- Maple syrup can substitute raw honey for a vegan option.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the best texture and flavor of fresh berries.
- Adjust honey amount to taste depending on desired sweetness.
- Chopped nuts can be replaced with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower for nut-free options.
