Baked Yogurt with Berries Recipe

Introduction

Baked yogurt is a creamy, custard-like dessert that’s both simple and satisfying. With a touch of sweetness and fresh berries, it makes a delightful treat perfect for any time of day.

A square yellow cheesecake with a smooth, slightly browned top is cut into nine equal squares and placed in a white baking pan lined with brown parchment paper. The cake is dotted with vibrant red strawberry slices and small dark purple blueberries, some partially sunken into the creamy surface, adding color contrast. Around the pan are clear plastic containers, one filled with whole fresh blueberries and another with whole bright red strawberries. A dark blue cloth napkin is partly visible underneath the pan, all set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Tips & Variations

  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced note.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt’s thicker texture helps the baked yogurt set firmly. Using regular yogurt may result in a softer, more custard-like consistency but it will still be delicious.

What can I substitute for cornstarch?

You can use arrowroot powder or tapioca starch in equal amounts as a thickening substitute for cornstarch.

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups berries (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside for easy preparation.
  2. Mix Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous. Then add the cornstarch and continue whisking until fully incorporated, ensuring a smooth texture.
  3. Add Berries and Pour: Gently fold in 1 cup of the berries to the yogurt mixture to distribute them evenly. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of berries on top for a fresh, vibrant finish.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes. Bake until the center is set and no longer jiggly to ensure the custard is fully cooked. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool almost completely to develop the proper texture.
  5. Serve: Once cooled, cut into 9 slices. Enjoy the baked yogurt plain or drizzle with additional maple syrup for extra sweetness and flavor.
