Galaxy Spiral Dark Berry Yogurt (Print Version)

Creamy yogurt swirled with dark berry jam, dotted with goat cheese and sesame seeds, for a visually delightful treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 14 oz plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
02 - 2.8 oz soft white goat cheese, chilled

→ Jam

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

→ Garnish

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

# How To Make:

01 - Spoon the Greek yogurt evenly into four shallow serving bowls, smoothing the surface gently.
02 - Drizzle or spoon the dark berry jam over the yogurt in an elegant spiral or swirl pattern.
03 - Break or roll the chilled goat cheese into small marble-sized balls using fingers or a melon baller, then distribute them evenly across the jam surface.
04 - Evenly scatter the white sesame seeds over the top to resemble stars and add a delicate crunch.
05 - Drizzle honey over the assembled dish if desired and serve immediately to enjoy the visual effect before mixing.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required, just 10 minutes and you've got something that looks like it belongs in a fancy dessert case.
  • It's naturally vegetarian and gluten-free without feeling like a compromise.
  • The contrast between cool, tangy yogurt and jammy sweetness with those little bursts of creamy goat cheese is genuinely addictive.
02 -
  • Cold goat cheese is non-negotiable; room temperature cheese will flatten into the yogurt and you'll lose that distinct crumb texture that makes each bite interesting.
  • A squeeze bottle or piping bag makes your spirals look intentional rather than accidental, but honestly, the casual drizzle works too if you commit to it.
  • Serve it right away before the berries start bleeding too much into the yogurt—there's a beautiful window where everything still looks distinct and separate.
03 -
  • A chilled bowl makes everything colder and creamier—five minutes in the freezer before serving changes the whole eating experience.
  • If your jam is too thick, warm it gently for 10 seconds in the microwave to make it pourable without losing the visual drama.
