Description
This recipe combines an airy Greek yogurt base with a rich homemade salted caramel swirl for a luxurious, make-ahead dessert.
Ingredients
- 200 g granulated sugar, for the caramel base
- 60 ml water
- 115 g unsalted butter, cubed
- 120 ml heavy cream, warmed
- 2 g flaky sea salt
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 500 g full-fat Greek yogurt
- 120 ml heavy cream, chilled, for whipping
- 50 g powdered sugar, sifted
- Additional flaky sea salt and caramel sauce for garnish
Instructions
- Make Salted Caramel Sauce: Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, swirling gently until the syrup turns deep amber. Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the cubed butter until melted. Gradually whisk in the warmed heavy cream until smooth.
- Chill Caramel and Whip Cream: Stir in the salt and vanilla extract; transfer the caramel to a heatproof bowl to cool completely (30-45 minutes). While the caramel cools, whip the chilled heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
- Combine Yogurt Mixture: In a large bowl, mix the full-fat Greek yogurt and sifted powdered sugar. Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture in two additions using a spatula until light and fluffy; avoid overmixing.
- Layer and Refrigerate Dessert: Spoon approximately one-third of the yogurt mixture into four individual serving glasses or bowls. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled salted caramel over the layer. Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a layer of fluffy yogurt. Chill for at least 1 hour.
- Garnish and Serve Chilled: Drizzle additional salted caramel over the top layer and garnish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat Greek yogurt to ensure the correct texture and prevent deflation. When folding the whipped cream into the yogurt, avoid overmixing to maintain the light, fluffy consistency.
