Galaxy Spiral dark berry yogurt (Printable Version)

A cosmic swirl of dark berry jam and creamy yogurt accented with sesame seeds and tangy goat cheese.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 1 3/4 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
02 - 3 oz soft white goat cheese, chilled

→ Jam

03 - 3.5 oz dark berry jam (blackberry, blueberry, or blackcurrant)

→ Garnish

04 - 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
05 - 1–2 tbsp honey (optional, for serving)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Divide the Greek yogurt evenly among four shallow serving bowls, smoothing the tops.
02 - Gently drizzle or spoon the dark berry jam over the yogurt in a spiral or swirl pattern.
03 - Break or roll the chilled goat cheese into small, marble-sized balls using your fingers or a melon baller. Distribute these evenly across the jam swirl.
04 - Sprinkle the white sesame seeds over the dish to add star-like accents and a light crunch.
05 - Drizzle honey over the top if desired and serve immediately, enjoying the visual effect before gently stirring to eat.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes elegant enough to impress guests but comes together in the time it takes to brew tea.
  • Those pops of tangy goat cheese against creamy yogurt and sweet jam create a flavor conversation that just works.
  • It's gluten-free and vegetarian without feeling like you're missing anything.
02 -
  • If you stir everything together too early, you lose the visual drama that makes this dish special—resist the urge until you've at least taken a moment to look.
  • Cold goat cheese matters because warm cheese turns into little puddles instead of distinct pearls, which breaks the whole cosmic feeling.
  • The jam-to-yogurt ratio is forgiving; don't stress about measuring—trust your eye and taste as you go.
03 -
  • Chill everything—yogurt, cheese, bowls—for at least thirty minutes before assembling so the textures stay distinct and nothing gets soggy.
  • The moment you finish plating is the moment to eat; this dessert is best served within minutes, while that contrast between cold and the slight warmth of the kitchen air is still there.
