This easy to prepare dessert can be made with certified organic ingredients, and is a perfect treat for the summer heat! The ingredients below are enough for 5 glasses or serving bowls. Alternatively, these amounts can make one large cheesecake in a 20cm spring form tin.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups organic granola + ½ cup extra for garnish
- 5 tbsp organic dark cocoa
- 85g melted organic butter
- 40g organic dark chocolate
- 200g organic yoghurt
- 150g quark
- 500g ricotta
- ¼ tsp vanilla essence
- ¼ cup maple syrup + 2 tbsp
- 1 punnet each organic raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and mulberries
Method:
- In a bowl combine the granola with the cocoa and set aside ½ a cup.
- Melt the butter with the chocolate.
- Place the larger amount of granola, melted chocolate and butter in a food processor and blend until combined and a fine crumb. Divide the granola mix into 5 glasses or serving bowls and press the mix down to create a base. Refrigerate.
- Rinse out the food processor and add in the yoghurt, quark, ricotta, maple syrup and vanilla and blend until smooth.
- Combine the berries with the 2 tbsp maple syrup.
- Spoon or pipe the yoghurt mix into the glasses, top with the berries and garnish with the extra granola. Refrigerate until set, approx. 20 – 30 minutes, or overnight.
Enjoy!
