What you'll need
Everything here is a real ingredient you can find in a normal shop. Nothing artificial, no powders pretending to be sugar. Here is the full list, with the quantities I actually use.
- 2 cups (450 g) tvorog / farmer's cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 g) Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 3 tbsp raw honey, 1 tsp vanilla, zest of 1/2 lemon
- Berry sauce: 1 1/2 cups berries mashed with 1 tbsp honey
- Nut crumb: 1/2 cup toasted ground walnuts + oats
How to make it
Blend tvorog, yogurt, honey, vanilla and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
Mash the berries with honey for the sauce.
In 4 glasses, layer: nut crumb, tvorog cream, berry sauce; repeat.
Chill 30 minutes.
Top with fresh berries and a little crumb.
Storage
Keep it covered in the fridge and it will hold for three to four days. If you are making it ahead, hold back any fresh topping until just before you serve so nothing goes soft. Most of these freeze well too, wrapped tight, for up to three months.
