Galaxy Spiral Dark Berry (Printable Version)

Creamy yogurt swirled with dark berry jam, topped with sesame seeds and tangy goat cheese for an elegant treat.

# Components:

→ Dairy

01 - 14 oz plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
02 - 2.8 oz soft white goat cheese, chilled

→ Jam

03 - 3.5 oz dark berry jam (blackberry, blueberry, or blackcurrant)

→ Garnish

04 - 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
05 - 1–2 tbsp honey (optional, for serving)

# Directions:

01 - Divide the Greek yogurt evenly among four shallow serving bowls, smoothing the tops.
02 - Gently drizzle or spoon the dark berry jam over the yogurt in a spiral or swirl pattern.
03 - Break or roll the goat cheese into small, marble-sized balls using your fingers or a melon baller. Distribute evenly across the swirled surface.
04 - Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the dish to add texture and visual contrast.
05 - Drizzle with honey if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the visual effect before gently stirring to eat.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's so simple you can make it even when your kitchen skills are running on empty.
  • Every spoonful tastes like a small luxury without requiring any actual cooking.
  • The moment people see it, they think you've spent hours on something that took minutes.
02 -
  • Chill your goat cheese before breaking it into balls—warm cheese turns into a melty mess instead of holding its shape like those precious stars.
  • Serve this immediately after assembly, because while it stays delicious, that visual magic is temporary and meant to be experienced first.
03 -
  • Toast your sesame seeds in a dry skillet for just one minute before sprinkling—it transforms them from neutral to nutty and wakes up the whole dish.
  • Keep everything except the jam cold until the last moment, because warm yogurt or soft cheese won't hold that beautiful marbled effect.
