Ingredients
- 500 g plain full-fat yogurt
- 2 lemons
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 piece cheesecloth
- 200 g strawberries
- 150 g blueberries
- 2 peaches
- 6 leaves mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Place a large piece of cheesecloth (double-layered) inside a fine-mesh strainer and set it over a bowl to catch the liquid.
Step 2
Spoon the plain full-fat yogurt into the cheesecloth evenly, fold the edges over the top, and place a small plate on top to weigh it down.
Step 3
Refrigerate the setup for at least 8 hours or overnight to let the whey drain out, leaving a thick yogurt cheese behind.
Step 4
Once the yogurt has thickened, transfer it to a mixing bowl and stir in the zest and juice of two lemons, along with the honey. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
Step 5
Prepare the summer fruits: hull and quarter the strawberries, rinse the blueberries, and slice the peaches into thin wedges.
Step 6
Arrange the prepared fruits on a serving platter or individual plates, keeping the colors vibrant and inviting.
Step 7
Top the fruits with dollops of the lemon yogurt cheese, spreading it slightly for a rustic presentation.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch and serve immediately. Enjoy!
