Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Yogurt — Use plain yogurt without any added flavors or sweeteners for the best results. Greek yogurt can also be used for a thicker consistency.
  • Honey — Opt for high-quality honey to enhance the flavor of the dish. Adjust the amount of honey according to your desired level of sweetness.
  • Berries — Feel free to use a combination of your favorite berries or use a single type of berry for a more traditional approach. Ensure the berries are fresh and ripe for the best taste.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a creamier texture, strain the yogurt overnight using a cheesecloth to remove excess liquid.
  • Drizzle a little extra honey on top of each serving for added sweetness.
  • Experiment with different types of berries or add a sprinkle of granola for added crunch.
  • Serve Yogurtlitava as a light and refreshing dessert after a hearty Lithuanian meal.
  • If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a touch of vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture.

Serving advice

Serve Yogurtlitava chilled in individual bowls or glasses. Garnish with a few fresh berries on top for an extra pop of color. This dessert is best enjoyed on a warm summer day or as a refreshing treat after a flavorful meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, layer the Yogurtlitava with alternating layers of yogurt and berries in a clear glass. This will create an appealing visual effect and showcase the vibrant colors of the berries.
