Chocolate Brownie and Greek Yoghurt Layered Dessert
This Chocolate Brownie and Greek Yoghurt Layered Dessert is ridiculously simple and quick to make, yet full of wonderful, rich flavours and textures. Intense, chocolate brownie chunks are layered with creamy, tangy, silky-smooth Greek Yoghurt and finished with a thick layer of grated chocolate.
The tang in the yoghurt cuts through the sweetness of the chocolate, whilst the silky, velvety texture contrasts wonderfully with the slightly chewy, brownies. This is an extremely uncomplicated dish which develops into a wonderful, luscious and exciting dessert.
Benefits of making ahead of time:
Although you can eat it straight away, if you leave it in the fridge for a few hours, the flavours will infuse and develop.
Should I serve it fridge cold or at room temperature?
If you serve it straight from the fridge, the brownies will be quite fudgy as they will have hardened in the fridge. If you serve them at room temperature, the brownies will be softer and gooey. Your choice, both are so good.
What brownies should I use?
You can use any brownies, be they your own recipe, Daffodil brownies or shop bought. It is also an excellent way of using up any ‘past their best’ brownies or brownies which may be slightly over or under cooked. This dessert will give them a whole new lease of life, in the best way possible. See here, if you need brownie inspiration.
Where is this recipe from?
I first ate this at my sister, Sarah’s house; she used to buy a similar dessert from Pret and recreated it at home. I never tried the original version myself, so I don’t know how similar it is, but I do know that this particular combination is wonderfully delicious and very addictive.
