Tips for This Summer Yogurt Dessert with Berries
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt to get that creamy texture.
- Fresh lime juice gives the best flavor-bottled juice won't taste as vibrant.
- Ensure the yogurt layer is thoroughly frozen before adding the jelly to achieve clean, defined layers.
- Frozen raspberries work just as well as fresh ones.
- Take the dessert out of the freezer 10 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for the perfect creamy bite.
