Because we eat dessert every single day, I look out for recipes that aren’t super sugary. Fruit with yoghurt and granola is a staple but we often run out of fresh fruit before our weekly grocery delivery. Sometimes I use frozen, or I make this recipe, which mostly involves store cupboard ingredients.
The yoghurt is flavoured with vanilla paste. A small jar is pricey but lasts for ages. It’s easier to use than its equally expensive brother, vanilla extract. The latter always dribbles down the bottle whereas a spoon will fit into the wide-mouthed vanilla paste jar. It drizzles beautifully and there’s no waste because you lick the spoon afterwards (you have to; it’s the law).
Notes
The yoghurt in the photo is layered with nuts, dates and cacao nibs. Layering requires more bowls, so more washing up. In reality I chuck everything on top of the yoghurt, stir it and eat. It doesn’t make for a very appealing photo though.
