Chocolate Raspberry Coconut Yogurt Delight

Plain yogurt is more affordable than flavored yogurt and offers more versatility. Transform boring plain yogurt into a delightful treat by filling a bowl with yogurt and topping it with raspberries, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. It's best when the coconut is slightly toasted.

Raspberries and Ricotta Cheese

For a healthy and sinfully delicious treat, indulge in a handful of fresh raspberries and a dollop of ricotta cheese sprinkled with cocoa powder.

Berry Dessert

In a beautiful glass or bowl, add a dollop or two of custard, top with fresh berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries), and sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top. It's delicious, simple, and a sweet treat. I also think it's a good way to limit custard consumption especially if you share this decadent treat with others. This is a great brunch dessert.

Yogurt and Fresh Berries

For a healthy snack, go for plain yogurt and add some natural flavors with freshly picked raspberries or another type of berries.

Freeze Berries

Wash fresh berries, thoroughly dry them, lay flat on a parchment paper over a cookie sheet, and freeze them until the berries are hard. It'll take about an hour. Make sure that the berries aren't clumped together. Once the berries have hardened, you can transfer them into an airtight container. Once they've frozen, putting them in the same bag isn't a problem. But do this before you freeze them, and you have a beautiful chunk of fruited ice that won't be very usable. Frozen berries will last up to nine months. One more thing worth noting, don't sugar berries before freezing them. Leave that to the last minute. The sugar breaks down the fruit and can make them mushy.

The Best Way to Wash Berries

Chill berries before washing them, as cold berries are less likely to bruise or bleed. And don't wash them until the last minute. Berries last longer this way, as they have a high moisture content. The berries will soak up the water and rot quicker.

Flip the Berries

When you store the berries in your refrigerator, turn the basket upside or on its side to relieve pressure from the bottom of the berries. They're soft and lie on the same bottom for a prolonged period. This can significantly reduce mushed berries.
