Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 750 g fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
• 450 g natural yogurt (3.6% fat recommended)
• 16 g vanilla sugar (about 2 packets)
• 4 whole strawberries for garnish

For the best flavor, use ripe and sweet strawberries. Natural yogurt gives the dessert a creamy texture while balancing the sweetness of the fruit. Vanilla sugar adds a delicate aroma that blends perfectly with the strawberries.

Directions

1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and remove the green tops.
2. Set aside 4 whole strawberries for decoration later.
3. Place the remaining strawberries into a blender or use an immersion blender in a large bowl.
4. Blend the strawberries until completely smooth and creamy. If you prefer a slightly textured dessert, pulse only a few times instead of blending fully.
5. Add the natural yogurt and vanilla sugar to the blended strawberries.
6. Mix everything together until smooth and evenly combined. The mixture should become creamy and light pink in color.
7. Pour the dessert evenly into serving glasses, dessert cups, or small bowls.
8. Garnish each serving with a whole strawberry placed on top or on the edge of the glass.
9. Serve immediately for a fresh and creamy texture, or chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes for an extra refreshing dessert.
