FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is thicker and creates a creamier texture. If using regular yogurt, strain it through cheesecloth to remove excess liquid for best results.

Is baked yogurt served warm or cold?

Baked yogurt can be enjoyed either warm or chilled depending on your preference. It firms up more as it cools and tastes refreshing cold.

Instructions

Notes

• Ensure the yogurt is thick Greek yogurt for best texture; regular yogurt may result in a looser set.
• Use fresh or frozen berries; if frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent sogginess.
• You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar depending on preference.
• Letting the baked yogurt cool completely helps it firm up further for better slicing.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
