A simple and refreshing dessert featuring sweetened macerated strawberries served over creamy yogurt. This easy-to-make recipe combines fresh strawberries macerated with sugar and lemon juice, creating a naturally sweet and tangy topping that pairs perfectly with smooth yogurt, ideal for breakfast or a healthy snack.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Macerated Strawberries

  • 1 pint strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice

For Serving

  • 4 servings of yogurt (about 1 cup each)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: In a medium glass bowl, combine the chopped strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly.
  2. Macerate Strawberries: Let the strawberry mixture sit at room temperature for 45 minutes. This allows the fruit to release its juices and become sweet and tender.
  3. Serve: After 45 minutes, stir the macerated strawberries again and spoon them generously over individual servings of yogurt. Serve immediately for a fresh and delicious treat.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • You can adjust the sugar quantity depending on the sweetness of the strawberries.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute yogurt with plant-based yogurt alternatives.
  • This dish can be chilled after maceration for a cooler dessert, but it is best served fresh.
