Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To infuse more flavor into the base, try mixing a pinch of ground cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract directly into the Greek yogurt before you begin layering. If you prefer a smoother texture, whisk the yogurt for a minute to remove any lumps.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a vegan-friendly version, simply substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey. You can also experiment with seasonal fruits such as diced peaches or mango to keep the recipe fresh throughout the year.
