Chocolate Brownie and Greek Yoghurt Layered Dessert
Intense, chocolate brownie chunks layered with creamy, tangy, silky smooth Greek Yoghurt, finished with a thick layer of grated chocolate, this Chocolate Brownie and Greek Yoghurt Layered Dessert is so simple and quick to make, yet full of wonderful, rich flavours and textures.
Ingredients
- chocolate brownies, roughly 75g per person
- plain Greek yoghurt, roughly 100g - 110g per person
- chocolate curls/shavings, roughly 15g - 20g per person
Instructions
-
Collect together your equipment (see Recipe Notes below) and ingredients.
-
Chop the brownies into cubes – as big or as small as you would like. Mine were between 1 – 2 cms square/rectangle shapes.
-
Layer the dessert in your serving dishes or individual dishes:
- yoghurt
- brownies
- yoghurt
- brownies
- yoghurt
-
Decorate with grated chocolate or chocolate curls/shavings
-
Ideally refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavours to infuse, but if you are in desperate need, you can eat it immediately. You can eat it either fridge cold or at room temperature. (See Below)
Recipe Notes
Equipment:
- chopping board and knife
- kitchen scales, if necessary
- grater or peeler for the chocolate
- serving dishes - I like individual glass serving dishes, but you can use a large serving dish as well
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.
