Creamy Dessert in a Glass
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mascarpone cheese for extra richness)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or more, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a tangy twist)
- Crushed graham crackers, cookies, or crumbled cake for layering (optional)
- Fresh berries (like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) for topping
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Whisk the cream:
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks (you can do this with a hand mixer or stand mixer).
-
Prepare the creamy filling:
- In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or mascarpone), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. If you’re using lemon juice, add it here for a bit of tang.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until well combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
-
Layer the dessert:
- In serving glasses, layer a spoonful of the creamy mixture. If you want a bit of crunch, you can add a layer of crushed graham crackers, cookies, or crumbled cake in between the layers of cream.
- Repeat the layers until you’ve filled the glasses.
-
Chill:
- Refrigerate the creamy dessert for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set slightly.
-
Serve and garnish:
- Before serving, top with fresh berries, a dusting of cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings for a little extra flair.
