Prepare the Oranges:
Peel and Segment: Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Segment the oranges by cutting between the membranes to release the segments.
Slice or Dice: Alternatively, you can slice the oranges into thin rounds or dice them into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the Yogurt:
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Taste the yogurt mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
Assemble the Dessert:
Layering: In serving glasses or bowls, start with a layer of orange segments at the bottom.
Add Yogurt: Spoon a generous amount of the yogurt mixture over the oranges.
Repeat: Add another layer of orange segments followed by more yogurt if your glasses are tall enough for multiple layers.
Top and Garnish:
Sprinkle granola or crushed nuts on top for a nice crunch.
Dust with a pinch of ground cinnamon if using.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve Immediately:
This dessert is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the freshness and texture of the oranges and yogurt.
Tips for Success
Yogurt Choice: Use thick, creamy Greek yogurt for the best texture. If you prefer a lighter version, you can use regular yogurt but consider straining it first to remove excess liquid.
Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup based on the sweetness of the oranges and your personal preference.
Add-ins: Feel free to add other fruits like berries, kiwi, or pineapple for more variety.
Variations
Citrus Mix: Use a combination of different citrus fruits like grapefruit, blood oranges, or mandarins for a colorful and flavorful twist.
Spiced Yogurt: Add a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg to the yogurt mixture for a warm, spicy note.
Dairy-Free: Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or almond yogurt for a dairy-free version.
Serving Suggestions
Brunch Addition: This dessert makes a great addition to a brunch spread.
Light Snack: Enjoy it as a light snack or a refreshing dessert after a meal.
Parfait Style: Layer the oranges and yogurt in a tall glass to create a parfait for a more elegant presentation.
This Orange and Yogurt Dessert is a delightful and healthy treat that’s ready in minutes. The combination of creamy yogurt, sweet honey, and juicy oranges is simply irresistible. Enjoy this easy-to-make dessert anytime you crave something sweet and refreshing!
