Tips & Variations

• Use any fresh or frozen berries you like, such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries.
• For a dairy-free version, try using coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
• If you prefer a sweeter dessert, increase the maple syrup slightly or add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the mix.
• To avoid a watery texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt and drain any excess liquid from berries before mixing.

Storage

Store baked yogurt covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices gently in the microwave for 15–20 seconds if desired, or enjoy cold for a refreshing snack.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt provides thickness needed for this recipe. Using regular yogurt may result in a looser texture and require additional cornstarch to set properly.

Can I prepare baked yogurt ahead of time?

Yes, baked yogurt can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. This also helps the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up nicely.
